Henry John Frischknecht Jr. Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

On Wednesday, July 29, Henry John Frischknecht Jr, 62, son, brother, uncle, employer and beloved friend peacefully transitioned to his next adventure. Henry grew up in Wayne, NJ then married and moved to NY. New York brought many wonderful events for Henry with the birth of his son Henry III and the business that would prove to be his legacy and a platform to provide a livelihood to many; Empire Tree and Turf. Henry later moved to Augusta, GA along with his thriving business in 1996. Henry was a pillar of the Augusta community and heavily involved with many Arborist societies. Henry's friends describe him as "generous to a fault", "caring", "tough when needed" "treated us like a father" and "an incredible mentor". Henry's influence had a positive effect on so many. His crew would say "he was well loved, he worked right alongside us, he was loved and respected and took pride in all he did".
