Not sure what to say?

Mr. Henderson was my favorite teacher. I often find myself reminiscing about his class and how much I enjoyed being in it! He was truly one of the best! I´m lucky to have been a student of his. X

I had an English class with Mr. Henderson. He was a good teacher. Condolences to the family.

Sorry...I want to add one more thing. I am still processing the loss of one of the first people outside of my immediate family to truly see me as a student and as a person. Mr. Henderson was the type of teacher who truly believed that their students were capable of achieving incredible things.

It´s been a lifetime since I last saw you, as you led a toast to my parent´s 25th anniversary. You were gracious and funny.

Mr. Henderson was the yearbook advisor at Fitch Junior; I was one of the assistant editors (1975-1976). Learned a lot from him; I will remember him fondly as an all-around great guy and teacher.

Rest in peace, Mr. H. I enjoyed your class when I was at Fitch. You were one of the good ones for sure.
