To the family, you have my deepest condolences. I didn’t know Mr. Hensley well but I remember him from when I use to work in the President’s office at Knoxville College. He would stop by from time to visit the college president and I would visit with he while he waited. Mr. Hensley always talked about his work at Y-12. He was a very pleasant person.
