Bill Henry

I lived in Bishop for a year And visited many years. Mr Henry personifies why there is Bishop and the magnifying terrain which beckons people. Sad to hear of the loss of Mr. Henry.

A beautifully written tribute. You were blessed to be his grandchild.

Mr. Henry was my 6th grade teacher at Hale Elementary School, Pasadena, CA, in 1964-65. We immigrated to the US in early 1962 and Mr. Henry was very kind to me. He remains my favorite teacher. I remember he asked me to read a poem in class, now this seems like it really isn't such a big deal but for a kid who had just learned English in the 2 years before it was a very big deal. I remember I did it fairly well and the confidence it gave me lasted my lifetime. Sending you blessings as you...

RIP Mr. Henry~ He was the best 6th grade teacher I could´ve ever had! He made learning fun because he clearly enjoyed teaching us all!!! Btw, I don´t think I ever saw him without wearing one of his bow-ties, so it was interesting to find out that he was such an avid outdoorsman and enjoyed fishing at Mammoth Lakes, where my family also spent many summers. We probably saw him and didn´t recognize without his beloved bow-ties :-) Sending my heartfelt condolences to his family~ Donna

He was my favorite teacher. I had him in 6th gradr at Hale Elementary. My fondest memory was the time i did acreport on Einstein and he gave it to his daughter, whom he knew. He was a kind gentle man who taught. I was the snake monitor and ended up taking a pair of mice home for the summer and had 51 white mice shortly thereafter. He will be missed.

Fond thoughts of Mr Henry

I had the privilege of joining Mr. Henry on one of his Eastern Sierra pack trips out of June Lake in the early 1970´s. It sparked a passion for the area, which continues to this day. I´m pleased he enjoyed a long life in the mountains he loved.

I taught with Bill at Riley Elementary in Clairemont. He was such a good teacher, a wonderful person and so nice. God bless him. Patsy Buckley Teaff
