Obituary of Henry J. Soto

Henry J. Soto passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, September 26, 2018 at his home in Morris.  He was born in Joliet, IL on July 15, 1951 to the union of Librado and Severina (nee De Anda Munoz) Soto.  Henry attended St. Joseph Grade School in Rockdale, was a graduate of Joliet West High School and attended Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, IL.  He worked for several years as a car salesman in the surrounding suburbs.  When he wasn’t working, Henry enjoyed golfing, motorcycles, boating and watching football.  He had a true passion for all types of cars.
