Henry joined the group in 1981 to fill the spot of Ace Frehley after Joey Capelli left the group. This was Henry's only appearance with the group.

Troy lost contact with Henry not long after Halloween of 1981, but after more than fifteen years of searching, he was able to track him down in late 2023 and reconnect.











1. What is your best memory of being in the group?

When we to "Marriott's Great America" on Halloween, all the strangers wanted photos of and with us.

 

2. What other memories, stories, or comments do you want to share or make?

Halloween 1981 was the only year I joined in on the fun.

 

3. Was the character you played your favorite member of the band? If not, who was/is your favorite member?

I dressed as Ace, but Gene was my favorite.

 

4. Did you ever want to play someone else in the group?

Gene of course, but Troy was a GREAT Gene! Even Gene himself thought so!

 

5. How did you feel about dressing up at the time?

I couldn't wait to get that costume and Ace makeup on!

 

6. Would you change anything about your time/experience in the group?

Yes. Halloween was a Friday night that year, so I would've done it from the previous Friday night, Saturday night, Sunday night, Monday, etc. through the 31st and then November 1, crashing as many parties as possible.

 

7. Is there anything else you wish the group could have done while you were in the group?

Been on TV(crashing as many parties as possible)

 

8. Do you have your old costume?

I don't remember what happened to it after that night!

 

9. Looking at these pictures after all these years, what are your thoughts?

I was half the man I am today. Literally. I was like, 145 lbs back then.

 

10. Have you ever dressed up as a member of KISS since leaving the group?

I haven't. I'd be a more believable "Meat Loaf" nowadays..

 

11. Would you ever dress up like a member of KISS again?

Sure! But only if YOU guys do it with me.

How many times have you seen KISS in concert?

Once, Tuesday, August 16, 1977 at The Cow Palace in San Francisco. Opening band: Cheap Trick. I, with a friend from school, went against my parents' wishes. We hooked up with four other friends from school at the concert. Both parents and a family friend were parked at curb near the doors, waiting for me to exit. "Can we drive my friend's home too, Dad?" …. 10 people in the Granada including Both parents, a family friend and her child.
