William F. Henry Jr., passed away unexpectedly on Feb. 3, 2020. He was born on December 5, 1952, in Aberdeen, Washington, to William F. and Laura I. (Johnson) Henry.

Bill graduated from Aberdeen High School in 1971 and served in the United States Army. He worked for Major Lines and as a carpenter before retiring after 16 years from the North Beach School District, where he was known as “Mr. Bill.” He worked at the elementary and junior/senior high schools and was proud of all “his kids” there.
