W.B. McHenry

W.B. "Jim" McHenry, beloved husband, father and grandfather, died Nov. 8, 2002,
at his home, surrounded by his family. He lost a valiant battle with Parkinson's
disease and cancer at the age of 79.

graduated from San Rafael Military Academy and Oregon State University, where he
earned a degree in botany.

Extension specialist in the department of botany at UC Davis for 33 years.

McHenry received a lifetime achievement award from the Forest Vegetation
Management Conference and was a Fellow of the Western Society for Weed Science.
He developed a number of the weed management techniques that are still in use
today.

He is survived by his wife of 57 years, Lillian Hosken McHenry; two daughters,
Lyndie Boulton and her husband Roger and Laurie Radcliff and her husband Mark;
and five grandchildren, Katie and Thomas Radcliff and Christina, Andrew and
Cameron Boulton.

A memorial service will be held Saturday at 1 p.m. at the University Club at UC
Davis.

A private burial will take place at Meadow Valley, close to McHenry's adored
Bucks Lake cabin. Donations in his memory may be made to Yolo Hospice,
