WILLIAM D. HENRY

William D. Henry, 73, passed on to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Oct. 30, 2003. Bill was born on March 8, 1930, in Missouri. In 1959, with his wife, B.J. and two young sons, he settled in Alaska where his daughter was born.

Mr. Henry owned the Triple B Bar at Mile 60.5 on the Parks Highway. His family said: "He had a big heart and more than once those that were stranded found a warm bed for the night. He loved the Alaskan life, particularly fishing. He was a hall of fame bowler and was known to sneak away from work to see his oldest son play football or his youngest son do track and field. He also umpired his daughter's softball league."

Over the years, Mr. Henry made many friends that became a part of his extended family. He was particularly touched by the friendship of Mike, Jenna, Stephen and Carol who were always there to support him.

Mr. Henry is survived by his sons, Harold D. Henry, Neil W. Henry and his daughter KeithAnn Wallace.

Memorial Services will be held at Sully's Sourdough Inn on Saturday, Nov. 15, 2003, beginning at 6 p.m.
