Henry Edward Henkel U.S. Veteran
October 25, 1916 - February 5, 2014
Henry Henkel was my stepfather.
Henry Edward Henkel, 97, died Feb. 5, 2014 in Payson, Ariz.
Henry was born to Martin and Elsbeth Henkel in Dubuque, Iowa Oct. 25, 1916. At an early age, Henry moved with his family to Escanaba, Mich. He grew up there and became a mechanic for Greyhound Bus Lines. Henry enlisted in the Army Air Corps at the beginning of World War II. He became an aviation mechanic and served the Allied Mission in North Africa and Corsica until the conclusion of the war.
Henry returned to Michigan, this time to Lansing. He married his wife, Helen Henkel in 1947, and they had four children. Henry used the mechanical experience he gained in the military to start his own auto repair shop, which he successfully maintained for more than 40 years until retirement.
Henry and Helen divorced in 2002 and Henry relocated to Payson, Ariz. He met Margaret Darnall in Payson, and they married in September 2007. Henry is survived by his present wife, Margaret, and by three daughters and two sons.
Cause of death: Infection in legs that didn't heal.
