Our thoughts and Prayers are with you Erma and with all of the family. We have so many great memories of the good times we had over the years, camping together, the trip to Hawaii,and the jokes and pranks that Dick played, especially on me. We will miss him greatly. I know that he is experiencing a joyful reunion with loved ones gone before him and will again be with Marla. He was, not only family but a great friend and we will always remember him. Jerry and Ivy
Dad Henderson was the perfect model of Christ's love! He was patient, kind, humble, respectful, unselfish, forgiving, protective, did not get angry, had the highest integrity, and always had a kind word of encouragement.
While he will be greatly missed! His example of how to truly love family will continue to inspire me and be my ideal.
We love you dad!

Dear Henderson Family,
We are sorry to hear of Dick's passing. We attended church with him and Erma for some 40 plus years. Memories of the Hendersons date back to our childhood as stand-out role models in the church and examples of what it looked like to be a Christian. We so admire them to this day. The bible verse that comes to mind to describe Dick is,"Well done thou good and faithful servant." May the good Lord be with you and give you a measure of his peace. Sincerely, Bob and Marilyn
Dear Henderson Family,
We were so sorry to hear about the loss of Dick. We attended church with him for over 40 years. Dick and Erma were two people we really looked up to as role models for how Christians should live their lives. Even when we were children they were "stand outs" and we so admired them. They will always remain in our minds as the most wonderful of people. If there is one Bible verse that we can think of that fits Dick at this time it would be "Well done thou good and faithful servant." May the good Lord be with you all during this time of grieving and grant you a great measure of His peace.
Sincerely,
Bob and Marilyn Stemmler
Thoughts are certainly with you at this time.
In Sympathy
Dear Henderson Family-- Our deepest sympathy at the death of Richard. I went to New Haven High with him, class of 1945, then lost track of him until 1967 when our son was in a drowning accident and Richard (Dick) was the State Trooper who met us at the hospital and told us of our son's accident and death. We have been truly thankful to him for his sympathy at that time and his help in leading us to who to call as this was the first real tragedy of our marriage. Our son was thirteen years old and as a coincident, his name was Richard also. Again, our deepest sympathy, your Richard was a true caring policeman.DU
So sorry for your loss
