Michele Panter -Young To the Henderson Family , condolences on the passing of your Dad . I remember your parents as our neighbours on Carey Rd. for several years. They were such lovely people. May the loving memories you have give you comfort during most difficult time. R.I.P Mr. Henderson
I only met Mr. Henderson a few times while volunteering at The Saanich Peninsula Hospital. I volunteered with my grandma, and every time we saw him she would always remind me of how he and his wife had been ballroom dancers. My grandma didn’t know him personally, but he grew a special place in both our hearts. Mr. Henderson always had a smile on his face, and was always humming or whistling to a song. I’m sending my condolences to your family.
