Mr. Henley was a joy to know, an honor to work for, and a great example to learn from. He was a stickler for details, the master of procedures and the marshall of management. He became an advisor to many by sharing his knowledge and expertise, and as a friend he gave his time and support.
Mr. Henley will always have a place in my heart. I will miss him, very much.

Dear "Col."
You were a true gentlemen, and a fine family man. We enjoyed many good and tough times sellin and slingin "tars" @ 1118 N. Dixie, better known to one and all as "General Tire". I know you are now home and will say a prayer for those you left behind. At ease Colonel Henley.
Your old buddy

I knew Frank when we both worked at General Tire on Dixie Hwy. We worked together for 4 years. I will always remember many wise sayings that Frank had. We had many animated discussions while we wore working on the monthly tire inventory. He was a logical, methodical person who taught me, a girl of 18, a lot about patience and perseverence.
I know your family will have a void and I offer my heartfelt sympathy.
