Notes:

MD was strong advocate of prevention

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.

For 40 years he ran his family practice out of his Queen Street North home in Kitchener. He believed strongly in preventive medicine and was one of the few doctors who still made house calls.

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.

Henderson was born in Guelph and moved to Kitchener when he was two. He graduated from Kitchener Collegiate Institute in 1938.

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

Following his retirement he moved to his home on Peninsula Lake in Huntsville, where he enjoyed skiing. hunting and fishing.

Henderson is survived by his wife Irma, to whom he was married for 48 years, and their children, Frances and Michael of Kitchener and Brian of Canmore, Alta, and their families.
