William Dunlap McHenry

Coach McHenry and Mrs. McHenry were special people. They loved W&L and were so gracious to me and countless others. Their love for W&L was apparent. We miss, but will never forget them.

Coach and Mrs. McHenry were gracious and loving friends to me. When our beloved Generals had home football games, they would open their beautiful home to me for the weekend. Everlasting memories.

I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Coach Bill McHenry. I had the privilege of playing football for Coach McHenry for three years at Washington and Lee University, and it was a wonderful experience, one of the most meaningful of my life. Coach McHenry was always very positive and encouraging, and playing for him was not only rewarding but also fun. Furthermore, he and Mrs. McHenry regularly invited us into their homes for Fellowship of Christian Athletes meetings, and after I...

Bill was my football coach at LVC. Bill actively helped me become a college coach, both football and lacrosse. As I look back on my experiences as a coach, I trace a path directly back to Coach Mack.

Joan - please extend to your family my sympathies and thanks for all Bill has meant to me throughout my life. Jim Grube

So sorry for your loss.

I met Bill when he came to the College of Wooster. He was always doing the right thing for the right reasons. My wife and I and the Wooster community will miss him.

I had the pleasure of being on staff at W&L, when he was the AD. He was nicest person I have ever met. My condolences to his family and may he rest in peace.

Coach McHenry was friendly and positive in his countenance and upbeat and enthusiastic in his attitude - always! He set a wonderful example for me (and many others), and his influence still colors my behavior and actions today.

He epitomized what it meant to be a gentleman, a person of faith, and a devoted family man. It was my good fortune to have him as a coach and mentor for three years. My heartfelt sympathy to his loved ones, especially his wife Joan, his son Rob, and his daughter Debbie's family. Jack...
