William "Bill" Carey Henness Jr.

After several years,, I can now express the loss of my brother. He was a good man and a good teacher of tennis and of life. He was truly a good person and had nothing but good things to say about everyone. I know that he was in pain for the last 5 years of his life. His spine wasnt meant for 30 years of teaching tennis, every day. He was a good person and left two wonderful children behind. I wish the world was filled of people like my brother , it would be a better place.

My thoughts and prayers for Bill and family.Bill was always a good friend to me in high school. We had a lot of good times on the Edgar Street tennis courts. You will be missed Bill. God bless my friend. Johnny Welch

Three generations of my family benefited from Coach Bill's tennis knowledge and friendly, caring nature. My father was looked after as he continued his tennis through his advanced years, I received great guidance from him as a coach and my grandchildren received the best lessons ever as they started playing tennis. Rest in peace, Coach.

Rest in peace . But I am sure even the angels need some tennis lessons ❤

We are so sorry to hear about the loss of Uncle Bill. He was a great Uncle. Sending lots of love and hugs. Anna, Kyle, Alyanna

Will miss you, Cousin.

Henness Family know my thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Blessings, Love & hugs.

I knew Bill as both a tennis coach and friend for the many years he was in Owensboro. He had a great sense of humor that made our Monday morning drills such fun. He left us far too soon and he will be so missed by all those who knew him. My heart goes out to Rachel, William, his parents and siblings and to grandsons Bear and Tyler who Bill so adored - he had pictures and stories to tell us of them every Monday morning.

Pat and the Henness Family, reading Bill's obituary, his devotion and fun spirit will be missed by all. Can tell your brothers. My thoughts and prayers with you partner and friend.
