It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of one of our own, Gary Henthorn. A kind and loving person, Gary was known for his sense of humor, compassion, entrepreneurship and adventurous spirit. His smile could light up a room and infectious laughter could lift you out of the deepest case of "the Monday's." Equal parts work, play, and love - Gary was a devoted father, brother and son. He lived each day to his fullest, eager to take on a new challenge no matter what adversity faced him. His positivity left a lasting impression on all of us here at BendPak, his spirit and enthusiasm will forever be a part of who we are. Gary will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
_"Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free._
_I'm following the path God laid for me,_
_I took his hand when I heard him call,_
_I turned my back and left it all._
_I could not stay another day_
_to laugh, to love, to work or play._
_Tasks left undone must stay that way._
_I found that place at the close of day._
_Perhaps my time seemed all too brief._
_Don't lengthen it now with undue grief._
_Lift up your heart and share with me_
_God wanted me now, he set me free."_
In Loving Memory
Gary Martin Henthorn
