"You’ll find liis fingerprints on most all of the building projects that have been done in that church,” Rev. Stevens continued, "and more than that, you’ll find the imprint of his love on the people.”
Trooper Henderson had been the Scoutmaster of Boy Scout Troop 52 in Front Royal since 1976, and members of his scout troop served as honoraiy pallbearers. They were joined by Scouts and leaders from a number of troops in the Shenandoah District, including a group from Troop 123 in Rappahannock.
“There is no way to tell how many boys have been influenced, how many boys have been affected by the contact they had with this man,” Rev. Stevens said.
Following the service in Front Royal, Trooper Henderson was buried next to his wife in Greenhill Cemetery in Churchville, near his hometown of Staunton. The graveside service, which included a flag presentation by the Virginia State Police honor guard, was attended by Gov. Gerald L. Baliles. He presented the flag which draped Trooper Henderson’s casket to the trooper’s mother, children and brothers.
"Lee believed he could make a difference, and he did,” Rev. Stevens concluded. “That’s what makes his death especially tragic and senseless. We needed his belief in us, because he made us better. And the best way we can honor him is to keep believing as he did.”
