I couldn’t wait to meet this man. Alan was fortunate to have been to his home with Danny. I can’t put the words on paper, but it’s easy to see what everyone else knew and I instantly thought maybe God did leave us one true angel, the kind you hear of but never met.
Wayne Henderson was the true meaning of a man, husband and of course a father. His friends list does him proud because they knew him and they loved him. I met him once and I loved him too.
Alan and I are friends with Danny but now I know why he idolized his dad. The world will be a lessor place without Wayne. Helen,Dennis,Lori and Danny our hearts are here for you all.
We are blessed to know you all. Wayne you’re already missed.

Gene was a mentor in business and a friend for life. His stories are legendary, and I find myself quoting Gene a lot. Blessing to Loranine and the family.

I have known Gene for over 40 years. I worked with him and for him at Frito Lay until I retired in 1997. He was a friend as well as an associate. He will be missed by everyone who knew him. My thoughts and prayers go out to Lorraine and the family.

Gene was my husband Phil’s cousin. I remember him sitting on the porch and visiting with Phil when Phil was so ill. I have looked forward to visiting with Gene when he and Dennis would maintain my yard; and always ask if he could do anything to help me. I always felt as though he was my family, and since my employment for many years included food and vending services sales, we had a lot in common to talk about. He reminded me so much of Phil and I will miss him so very very much. We still had many world, educational, and political problems to be worked out. I thank God that he was a Christian and hope that he and Phil can now once again have a long chat in their heavenly retirement home.

Gene was a true friend and mentor with a competitive spirit that fueled his success in business and made an indelible impression on scores of people. He was aptly described as a “legend” at Frito Lay and his influence lives on in the marketplace and culture of the Tulsa Zone. We are thankful to God that He chose to cross our paths and that Gene’s words and example were in front of us for over 35 years. We are MoBetta because of Gene. Never forgotten.

Gene and Jim Custer hired me in OKC in May 1982. Without Gene’s support and mentoring I am not sure where I would be today. He was a very credible and respected leader. My thoughts and prayers are with Lorraine and the entire Henderson Family.Bill Thompson
