Not sure what to say?

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. Wayne touched everyone's life he encountered. I'm blessed I was another lucky one who knew him and had the opportunity to hear his wonderful music he played camping or hanging out at Stu and Nina's.
My love, thoughts and prayers are with the family and all the friends that Wayne touched so deeply.

My deepest condolences, thoughts and prayers go out to the Henderson family.

Regrettably it's been a lttile while Wayne but I will never forget you.I will remember you as a friend, a bandmate, a mentor, storyteller, phillosopher,and a helluva musician. I remember the way the hands of the working man layed across the neck of that Telecaster with the touch and finesse of a surgeon,his soulful bluesy voice that could have only been earned not learned. We'll never forget,thanks for being part of our lives. Peace and love to you, your family,and friends. Mike and Cheryl...

I MISS YOU BUDDY. ALL THE RANDOM CONVERSATIONS ABOUT MUSIC, BIKES, RELIGION, WOMEN, AND ANYTHING ELSE WE COULD THINK OF. I'M GLAD WE GOT TO HAVE THAT LAST CUP OF COFFEE AND A DOUGHNUT ON FRIDAY.

Thank you Lord , for allowing Wayne Henderson to be a part of our lives,a lifetime of memories, some seem a blur now, clouded by our youthful and foolish ways, as he wondered his way thru our lives.
trying to find his own answers, how he should live, what kind of man,should he be, how could he make peace within his heart,for his family and friends.
I believe he knew his time was at hand these last few months,
and soon he would be with his God.

Wayne,
I am so thankful to have had you in my life. Your presence in the Bethel household in my experience has been such a natural one, a necessary balance to your brother and friend, and someone for us 'youngins' to look up to and learn from. I am proud to call you family and we all will miss you dearly. Your love for music, your love for life, and your acceptance of all it has to offer have been appreciated by many. Your stories of days I wish I could have seen have given me glimpses...

Ill miss you Wayne. All the wild stories and your big ole heart!!!

Isaac and Eric,
My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief.May your memories bring you peace.No finer friend.
Wayne, I was looking forward to a "dry "run to Rockingham this year on the sickles.I'll be thinking of you and that cool cream/green lid and those wild goggles.Til we ride together again.
