I'm so sorry to hear about Dick's passing. Darrel called me but I have lost Dorothy's address (she is my mother's cousin, Ione Anderson) and I miss talking with Dorothy and would like to contact her. Thanks, Sandy Rauperstrauch in Tempe, AZ
PS, I played cards with Dave and Doug when I was 10 and they were 6 and 4. They might remember me that way.
Merry Christmas and Love to all the family and I hope to hear back from you.

Dorthy and Family,
My heart goes out to all of you. Dick and I were good friends even long after he left Ogden & Adams. I really admired that man and we had some good conversations. Even well into his eighties he would walk from his house on 29th St NE to the lumberyard for a visit. hat was a long walk and I always admired his strength of not giving in. He and I worked together for at least 6 years and we always got along. A couple of stories.. I rember vividly one day when I had made a pretty big mistake on a sales order (which was not that uncommon) and needed his help to straighten things out. After showing him the problem he looked up at me and said, " I don't know why God ever made it so you could hold a pencil." Everybody in the office got a good laugh at that one.
Another time, Dick came in my office, sat down and told me he was in big trouble. Now, remember, at that time there were no women working in the lumber yard and very few as customers, so the jokes and language could be a little loose as well as some of the sayings. Well, apparently Dick and Dorthy decided to take "Aunt Maude" (as remember her name) for a nice drive on a Sunday. As she was getting in the car Dick made some comment (jokingly of course) that "they were taking her out to blow a little of the stink off of her." Well, apparently she took that as a direct insult saying "I don't stink!" and didn't speak to him for several months.
Our thoughts and prayers to all of you. This is one person I will never forget. The Covid threat is keeping us from attending the visititation.

Dear Great Aunt Dorothy and to all my Henderson Cousins and Wenger Cousins, you have my sincerest deep sympathy. I remember your family as far back as I can remember....early 1960's. I have flashes of places and people. So my Great Uncle Richard Henderson was there and present at many of l the big moments for me and my Mom as well and some of the more simple moments and he was a Great Uncle. He was a good listener, good sport, great sense of humor, great example and a man of great faith. He took wonderful care of his wife and set a solid example to his 3 excellent sons, David, Douglas and Darrell. I wish I could be with you all at this time, I have you all in my heart and know you will carry on in the way Great Uncle Dick did, loving and serving. He was so proud of you all. He was a very blessed man and now he is with all those others we have lost having a great reunion with them and our Lord. In Gods timing it will only be minutes until we are with him again in Heaven.

Of all the things your dad left behind, the biggest of them are treasured memories and knowing the sense of his unconditional love for the Henderson fam. While you'll miss him, thank the Lord you had him in your lives and smile fondly when recalling those memories and his love.

A sweet gentle giant went home to his Father. What a welcome that must have been! Dick was such a special man to me, his twinkle in his eye, his devotion to Dorothy, his love for his Savior. His quietness spoke volumes. My sympathy to all the family. Our Pathfinders class was blessed for years by his presence. And I am honored to have called him a friend.
