When David Henry gave a loan in the 1980s to Milton Cooper, founder of Kimco Realty Corp., he was making a critical career connection. Ten years ago, Henry left G.E. Capital Real Estate and, in 2009, became chief executive of Kimco, a 50-year-old real estate investment trust that buys about $500 million worth of shopping centers a year, primarily in the west and Canada.
