Henry was born on July 21, 1951 at Mercy Hospital in Dubuque, Iowa to LaVerne and Minnie (Bottleman) Plagman. Henry grew up around the Elkport area where he received his education locally. Henry spent his life working for various local farmers. He met and married the love of his life Sandra Jean Krugger. On March 12th, 1971 they married at the Methodist church in McGregor Iowa, blessing them with 4 children: Wendy, Mary, Kimberly and LaVern. He lost his wife in 1974, and a part of Henry died that day as well. The past 15 years of his life Henry resided at Scenic Acres in Elkader Iowa, where he reconnected with his children. Its no secret that he had a very strong bond with his twin great granddaughters. He lit up with smiles just speaking of them, and he knew what twin they were by name. They loved him just the same. We are all at peace knowing our dad today is in the arms of his beautiful wife, and his broken heart is now whole.
