“Henri was tenacious and had a masterful sense of humor.

He became manager of engineering and manager of a GE Center of Excellence. His interest in energy conversion led him to direct the development of a photovoltaic solar energy business for Varian Associates. Eventually he started his own company, Electrochemical Drug Delivery, which he sold to Baxter International. He has over 100 worldwide patents in applied electrochemistry.”—Elizabeth Maget, wife
