Commission's agenda is light By EVE BYRON IR Staff Writer Only one public hearing is set for Monday night's Helena City Commission meeting. That hearing covers updates to the city's building codes, which will bring them into compliance with Montana state laws that recently were changed. People wishing to comment on the changes can do so at dur-, ing the 7 p.m. meeting in the commission chambers in the CityCounty Building on Park Avenue. Commissioners also are expected to discuss annexation of some streets that inadvertently weren't encompassed within the city boundaries along with property along the streets, this initially was consid- ered just a "housekeeping" item, but city staffers novy believe some streets are inappropriate for annexation.

He joined the Navy and served on the Bonne Homme Richard aircraft carrier as an arresting gear mechanic during WWII.

He served on the same carrier during the Korean War. After his first tour of duty, he moved to Denver, Colo, and started working as a carpenter. Henry met his wife, Mary Molly Mauter, at a dance in 1945 and they were married in 1948. Henry was a hard worker and his recreation was work. He was known for an honest day's work, craftsmanship, a sense of humor and his compassion for all people.

Henry and Mary had three children. His family always came first and it was important that his children knew how to work hard and were honest. In 1990, Henry and Mary moved to Helena to be close to two of their children. The last seven years were very happy times for him. He will be greatly missed by everyone whose life he touched.

He lived a happy and full life, and had no regrets when he passed away. Although we will miss him, we're proud to have loved a man so rare. His loved ones are his wife of 49 years, Mary Begler of Helena; two daughters, Mary Ann Eckols and her late husband Robert Eckols of Lincoln, Texas and Julie Krause and her husband Jeff Krause of Helena; a son, Henry Jr. and his lovely wife, Nancy Begler of Helena, two grandsons whom brought him much joy, Nicholas and Zachary Begler.
