Ford was a dear friend, a fellow Marine, and a fellow Christian. I know you, his family, will miss him so, but he is with his Jean.

Our sincere and deepest sympathy to the Family of Mr. Hendrick. Although we personally never met Mr. Hendrick, we felt like we knew him through our realtor. We are the couple that fell in love with his home at 14 Oakwood Rd. and made the offer to purchase the house. The first time we entered the house, we felt the warmth and glow of love. Truly this is a very loving family. We had many conversations with Mr. Hendrick through our realtor, Diane Smoak. We found him to be both understanding and considerate. Even though we never had the oppertunity to meet him, we also feel a void in our hearts.
