Just read the Christmas card from Anitha regarding George.. So sorry to hear the news. Belated condolences to you and your family.
He was a very good friend and mentor.. I vividly remember the Pizza nights at Ellliott Building and at your home. I also remember his boisterous laugh and the pleasure he took at the little things in life as well as the trip through the western states soon after you moved to Victoria from Lubbock/ He will be missed.

I met George in the mid 70s when I came to US to go to school. Sam Majumder introduced me to him. We were both into photography and instantly became friends. I did not have a car but not to worry, George would give me rides to buy school supplies, bedding and everything else one needs when landing in US with a small handbag. There is hardly any place he did not take me in his VW Beetle along with Lalitha. Movies, pizza dinner, shows and he would never let me pay for my share. When it was time for me to buy a car, it had to be a VW Beetle and it was. When George and Lalitha moved to Canada, he gave me his small GE black & White TV and kitchen utensils that were with me for years.
Over the years, I got used to his sense of humor expressed in short, small sentences. We kept in touch when he moved to Canada and when he returned to Florida.
Not a lot of people knew what a brilliant researcher he was in his field. I understand he declined to work with Nobel laureates in favor of academia and that is where he retired.

“You are no more in front of our eyes; you have taken your place within our eyes – that is why wherever we look, we see you” – (Tagore)
I have known George Henderson for over last 46 years, from early seventies when he was in Texas.
He was extremely smart and intelligent and very loving human being. He always helped others. He was embodiment of goodness, wisdom and love.
We wish and pray for his departed soul to be in communion with Divinity and Ever Lasting Peace and Happiness.
Our sympathy and most sincere condolences are with his wife Lolita and their son and daughter.
