Remembering Morris A. Henderson
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest 
St. Matthew 12:28
 Morris Adam Henderson was born on December 12, 1921 in Claiborne Parish,
Louisiana to Alcus Henderson Sr. and Willie Nisely.  He was the eldest of five
children from this union. 
 He served meritoriously in several European campaigns during World War II and
was awarded three bronze stars, victory medal, and qualified as an expert
marksman.  After receiving an honorable discharge, he returned to the United
States and later married Diana Parker.  From this union was born one daughter,
Jacqueline Maryse.  In 1950, Morris again answered the call of duty, by serving
his country in Korea during the war and being awarded another bronze star.
 In civilian life, Morris was employed with the Utility Body Company in Oakland
and Berkeley for more than 30 years, developing into an experienced welder and
working as foreman.  He was a quiet but hard working individual, who seemed most
content just spending time tending his garden or watching a favorite sports match. 

 Despite his failing health over the past year, Morris remained steadfast in
continuing his work around the house and in his garden for as long as he was
able, without complaint.  Regardless how he felt, whenever anyone inquired how
he was feeling, his response was always the same, “pretty good,” including
several days before his passing……
 On June 12, 2009, Morris was called home after being preceded in death by his
parents, his younger brother Alcus and his sister Lorene.
 He leaves to forever cherish his memory, Diana, his wife of sixty years, his
daughter, Jacqueline and son-in-law, Lawrence Zeigler of Fairfield, his
grandsons, Adam and Sean Zeigler of Fairfield, his younger brother James and his
wife, Irma Henderson of Oakland, his sister, Mildred Wilson of Richmond, and a
host of nieces, nephews, relatives, and many friends.
