HENSHAW, Frederick Graham - We have lost our father, husband, and friend. Freddie died peacefully in Barra De Navidad, Mexico, with his family around. He was born in 1926 in Quetta, now Pakistan. Freddie graduated from Kings' College, NS in 1942, then Royal Roads Naval Academy in Victoria, BC in 1944. He served on King George V battleship in the Pacific at the end of the war. As Lieutenant Commander he served on several ships including HMCS Terra Nova and HMCS Haida, retiring from the Navy in 1969. Freddie was a true gentleman, always had a twinkle in his eye with a great sense of fun. Predeceased by his daughter Mary, he will be greatly missed by his wife of 63 years, Naomi (nee Ritchie), daughters: Lesley (Richard), Helen, Shelagh (Jeff), and grandchildren, Peter, Patrick, Jack, Fred, and Russell, as well as his many, many friends. Always a caring Dad, husband, and grandfather, Freddie was a true example of a fine human being. Memorial services will be announced in Barra and Hudson at later dates.
