Except for his time in the Air Force and college, my father lived his entire life in Wilson. Three years ago tonight, he passed away here, at home, surrounded by his wife and daughters and granddaughter. He loved Wilson, and his stories were my early gateway to what would become Black Wide-Awake. I wish he’d had more time to understand and enjoy my posts and to know how deeply he continues to guide and influence me. Rest in power, Rederick C. Henderson.
Lisa, what a handsome dad! More so, he was a hellavu educator and inspirator because you are living proof of his utmost desires!!
He is now part of that mighty cloud of witnesses that still lives within you and your family FOREVERMORE.
What a blessing you have in your parents!!
“Mighty cloud of witnesses!” — I love that!
And yes, doubly blessed! Thank you!
My deepest condolences 🌹 I have strong well lived family history. Thank you kindly for sharing your handsome and intelligent father. May God continue to strengthen you and your family 🙏🏾
Thank you so much!
