Escue, Dr. Henry Merritt Escue, Jr., age 69 noted Physician and highly decorated Vietnam Veteran of Atlanta died Thursday, July 10, 2008. He was a Anesthesiologist starting his career in the Army ultimately overseeing a MASH Unit Read Obituary
From memories of our youth in St. Albans WV when Merritt played softball with church teams and we were friends. He was such a gentle and kind person always the gentleman. In a small town we lived in it was good to have him as a friend and thru our church Presbyterian up on the hill. God bless and keep his family and know that he has had a good life.##imported-begin##Nancy Perkins Dunn##imported-end##
Nicole, my husband and I were shocked when we read the news about Henry. You may remember that Kenny and I were married in your mom and dad's backyard at your beautiful home on Shadow Valley in High Point on July 1, 1978. Kenny worked at your dad's horse barn and lived for a while in the pool house after he returned to High Point from service in the Navy. We both thought so much of the Escue family for allowing us to have our wedding at such a special location. Kenny especially appreciated Henry for preserving the Moore ancestral home place on which the horse farm was located. Kenny often reminisces about the good times he had with the Escues at all the horse shows they attended. Three years ago we traveled to Shelbyville, Tennessee to the "Walking Horse Celebration." That brought back such sweet memories of your Dad. Please accept our heartfelt love and sympathy, and know we will never forget Henry and the place your family had in helping us start our new life together.##imported-begin##Karon and Kenny Moore##imported-end##

Please accept our deepest sympathies from the Medical Education Dept. at Northside & St. Joseph's Hospitals. Dr. Escue greeted us warmly and always with a smile and a chuckle at Medicine Conferences for the past several years. We have missed him in recent months, unaware until very recently that he was ill. Dr. Escue will be greatly missed.

To Nicole and her family.....Though many years have come and gone, fortunately for me, I had the pleasure of knowing your dad as a close friend and neighbor during his tenure in the D.C. area. His great humor and infectious smile as well as a deep caring for others will ALWAYS be remembered fondly. As you and your family go thru this time of sadness, may you know how very much others care. He was very special to so many!##imported-begin##Wanda Koltas, Las Vegas, NV##imported-end##
