To The Henry Family.
I worked with Bill for quite some time at Roadway Express. It was Bill and Dick Carlson who hired me on way back in 1968. Bill was more of a friend than a supervisor. And later on he was a friend indeed. I'll miss his ever ready smile. My deepest condolences to all of you.

Joyce, Bill Jr, Wanda & Wayde
I am Very sorry to hear of your Husband/Father's passing. I can remember as a kid growing up and Hanging out with Bill jr that Bill Sr always made me feel welcome and treated me as one of the family(as did Joyce). He always had smile on his face and a joke or two to brighten the day. The world has lost a very unique individual, but heaven has gained a shining star
