Cannot believe it is already a year since George passed. We think of him often as he was such a part of our careers and a dear Friend. We laugh about the memories and know he is making those same friendship in Heaven. Miss you George, you were so good to us and we love you!

We are so very sorry about Bunky. He was a kind and generous man, and we are grateful for the love he showed Canterbury School. May his memory be a blessing. Mary Dator, Canterbury SChool

Dear Lindsay and Henderson family - I was so sorry to learn about George's passing. Though it's been several years since I saw him, I've always remembered George as a kind, sincere and generous person and advisor. When my first business was young, George was often a supportive sounding board for my ideas and questions. I valued and appreciated his input and suggestions greatly. Once, I had the opportunity to do an interview with George for a writing project I was working on. I remember...

Dear Lindsay, Stephanie, and George,
Writing this message to you is the smallest measure of caring that I can offer you in response to Bunky's passing, but I hope that I will see you very soon to offer my condolences in person. As we can witness from even this platform of tribute that Bunky changed lives. He gave me one piece of advice many years ago, and I heeded it. Turn right, he said. That small suggestion carried great weight for me, and determined a new way of living after many...

I remember Bunky very well. I first met him when we were both campers at Camp Yonahnoka in Linville, NC, before either of us was old enough to attend the Episcopal High School. I lost track of him after his graduation (a year ahead of me); but other classmates remained in touch with him and let me know that he was doing well. I'm very sorry to hear that he's no longer with us, but I'm pleased to know that he had a wonderful, fulfilling life and a family who loved him. We all should be so...

Lindsay, so very sorry for you loss. Think of you often and even more now. Love and miss you. You´ll be in my prayers.

Lindsay my sincerest condolences to you the kids and all of the Henderson's on George's passing. I worked with George and his dad for many years and was lucky enough to have been part of the Denim team he built at Burlington. I know that even with all of his various positions within the company he had a true soft spot for the Denim group he created and the feeling was mutual.
Many meetings, many laughs and a lot of good business. He's gone to soon and will be missed.

Sincerely,
Doug

Dear Lindsay, If there was a mentor in my life it was George Henderson, his belief in me stayed with me for decades. The years at Burlington were some of the best, developing the friendships we have to this day. George was kind, genuine and sincere. I could not thank him enough for all he did for me and how much fun we had. Our hearts are broken for you and your family. I am so glad to have connected with George bit in last 2 years. God bless you and your family. You are in our prayers.
