No Memorial Services will be held. Please pray for peace and healing for his family.
So sorry to hear about Mrs. Hendrickson’s passing. I can remember her taking her son, Dean, and me to Robert Frost Junior High School every morning in the 70’s. She always listened to the news and drove very carefully. I can vividly remember that white car with red leather seats and a red cushioned steering wheel. She was a very good mother to her children and a loving wife to Mr. Ken Hendrickson.
Please accept my most heartfelt condolences. I have many fond memories with the entire Hendrickson family and my heart goes out to them.
God Bless You All!
Mr. Ken Hendrickson was a very smart man and, I always admired him for his intellect.. He started off as a pilot for Capital Airlines flying the P-3. Then he eventually became a Captain for United Airlines. Mr. Hendrickson was a man of precision. I can remember going with their family to see our high school football game at Gardena High School. There was no parking anywhere to be found except for a small space in between two other parked cars. I looked at the space and thought, “no way. “ But leave it to a skilled pilot, Mr. Hendrickson guided his metallic beige car right into that space with such ease. I was in awe. I never mentioned it to my longtime friend, Dean, but come to think of it, I wish I would have complimented the driver. Mr. Hendrickson up in heaven, I hope you can hear me now. I wish you were my drivers education teacher. Then I could fit my Tacoma in tight spaces just like you did in Gardena. God rest your soul.
