Our deepest condolences to his family.

RIP, coach, the world is a better place because of you.

Lou Henson, garnered love and loyalty from my /his high school 1961 graduates as he coached on the court and lead as a 'real earthy' human of substance.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Lou was a class act. I'll never forget his taking over the team in 1997. I have his #700 win Coke bottle (not opened) in my memorabilia rack. Peace be with you Lou and family.

Rest in Peace, Coach
