Ken Henderson 1942 - 2019
It is with great sadness that I speak about the passing of Ken Henderson on Tuesday morning 15th January at Sunderland Royal Hospital after a short illness.
He was our Chair & Life President for fifty years and will be greatly missed by us all.
I was trying to think what I could say about Ken then I thought Ken would know exactly what to say. He was so good at putting words together, a natural. Ken was able to sum up in his words of thanks to visiting judges and lecturers in a positive, kind and descriptive way just what we had heard and seen.
Ken lived for Washington Camera club he was the very essence of the club. He was a people person and loved to have a chat to members and tell one of his jokes, not always funny but we laughed anyway.
Despite family problems he rarely missed a meeting, he was at the club opening up before anyone came.
Ken was an excellent portrait photographer who also enjoyed landscape and wildlife photography. Going on many trips to Scotland where his daughter Christine lived.
Ken was a judge on the circuit for many years. He was well known around other clubs and the NCPF making many lifelong friends.
Always helpful sharing his knowledge, he mentored many beginners, some of them then becoming professional photographers themselves.
I know that he was delighted with our 50th year celebrations – the Exhibition at the Arts centre, Joe Cornish and the Year Book were some of the highlights for him. Something the Club had not done before and it made him a proud man. I’m sure he has left us content and happy that his special and last year was such a fantastic success.
We have a new Chair now, Andy Miller and together with the committee and support of the members will take the Club forward. The Judges and Lecturers are all booked for the year as well as the Masonic Hall for our Christmas presentation evening.
Ken will be greatly missed especially on Practical nights however we must carry his legacy on. It is what he would have wanted.
REST IN PEACE Ken Henderson a great friend and a gentleman you will be sadly missed.
