Garry L Henson, SR.

Garry L. Henson Sr., 75 of Harlan, Kentucky, entered his Heavenly Home on May 9th, 2021.

Brenda Henson, his wife of 55 years, was by his side, along with his children and grandchildren at his home in Catrons Valley when he passed. Garry was born to the late John and Fannie Henson on November 18th, 1945, at Ages, Kentucky.
