Thomas Henry Viniski began working for CMI Communications in the late 1980's as a free lance videographer. Not long after, he was hired full time and travelled the country for CMI as a video technician on several large productions.
Henry accepted a position in 1990 to be the full time audio visual representative for CMI at the Holiday Inn Genesee Plaza, now known as the Radisson Hotel Rochester Riverside. Henry was a mainstay at the hotel for almost 20 years and fostered many friendships with clients and hotel personnel alike.
An accomplished gourmet chef, Henry worked for many years at the Strathallan Hotel in Rochester and was the favorite of many celebrity diners such as Mickey Rooney and Bob Hope.
Henry also played guitar and fronted several local bands, the last being Shameless Henry. He helped many fans pass a warm summer day and night listening to classic rock ‘n roll.
Henry is survived by his beloved wife, Bonnie, as well as his brother and sister, four stepsons, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and countless friends.
Henry was a unique and talented individual and professional who will be sorely missed by his many friends and colleagues.
