D r Hartley Henderson, one of the oldest practising physicians in Kitchener before he retired two years ago, died at Huntsville Memorial Hospital on Tuesday. He was 76.

He retired reluctantly in 1994, saying he would miss the relationships he had developed over the years.

The strength of those relationships was evident at a surprise retirement party held in his honor and attended by more than 300 patients, colleagues and family members.

After serving in the army for six years, he attended McGill University medical school, graduating in 1952.
