Henderson, Harold William   	

MARSHALL - Harold William Henderson, 77, of Longview, formerly of Marshall, 
died March 23, 2007, after a long battle with emphysema.

worked as sales manager for Fugitt and Godfrey Real Estate and later worked 
in commercial real estate for Zack Williams.

Hap will be fondly remembered for his quick wit, his ever-present opinion 
on many subjects, his love for his two dogs, Belle Star and Chubbie, and his 
devotion to his two children, Harold and Kitty, and long-awaited first 
grandchild, Harper Scout.

He is survived by his wife, Bobbie of Longview; daughter, Kitty Ann Henderson 
of Austin; son, Harold Spinks Henderson; daughter-in-law, Candy Keys Henderson; 
stepgranddaughter, Jade Barber; and granddaughter, Harper Scout Henderson, all 
of Longview. He is also survived by brother, Robert Henning Henderson and
