Oleh sebab itu tidak heran kalau ucapan belasungkawa dating dari berbagai pihak. Menpora RI Zainuddin Amali secara khusus menyampaikan ucapan belasungkawa, "Selamat jalan legenda bridge Sulut. Darma Baktimu mengharumkan nama bangsa akan selalu dikenang sepanjang masa"`
Setahu penulis, Menpora telah mengusulkan Henky Lasut dan beberapa atlet bridge untuk mendapatkan TK Satya Lencana  Dharma Olahraga ke Setneg tahun ini.
Dari luar negeri dari begitu banyak ucapan belasungkawa, saya pilih empat yang bisa mewakili terutama karena mereka menjadi lawan yang tangguh :
Please pass on our sincerest condolences to the family of Henky Lasut, and to all the members of the  Indonesian Seniors Team. Terry Brown and I have been long serving  members of The Australian Seniors Team and many time played against Henky in Asia Pacific and World Championship bridge events.
He was always a gentleman at the table and a tough competitor. Peter Buchen, Sydney, Australia
Dear Polii : Just got the sad news that my long time rival and friend Henky Lasut passed away suddenly. It's a shock since he looked fine when we met last Sept. in Wuhan for the world championships. We have been playing against each other for more than 40 years and it's always a pleasant encounter at the table. Please send his wife and family my sincere condolences. Bridge players around the world will remember Henky as a true fighter, a champion, and a gentleman in the game. R.I.P Henky.
Patrick Huang from Taiwan.

KETUA UMUM GABSI, Ibu Miranda Goeltom dalam sambutannya yang dibacakan oleh Kepala Perwakilan BI Sulut, Arbonas Hutabarat menyampaikan :
Atas nama Pengurus Besar Gabungan Bridge Seluruh Indonesia (GABSI) dan seluruh komunitas bridge di Indonesia maupun di dunia, perkenankan saya menyampaikan rasa duka yang sangat sangat mendalam kepada ibu Corry dan Evita serta seluruh keluarga besar Lasut -- Manoppo.
