HENSHAW, TOM BERNARD 1922-2006.  Tom Bernard Henshaw was born on Feb. 28, 1922, in Portland.  His father, Ferrie, was a dentist, his mother, Ellen, a homemaker.  Tom graduated from Grant High School in 1940, graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Oregon State College in 1940 with a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering, and was graduated from Oregon State University in 1947 with a master's in chemical engineering.  Tom was the house manager for Phi Gamma Delta fraternity and socialized with his Fiji brothers his entire life.  In 1948 Tom married Katherine Jane Henshaw and enjoyed 53 years of marriage.  Tom's career as a chemical engineer started with Standard Oil of California, moving to Northwest Natural Gas and Chipman Chemical, retiring in 1982 as chief engineer for Rhone-Poulenc.  After his retirement, Tom and Jane traveled the world.  Mexico, Hawaii, Australia, Europe, the Caribbean and the Middle East were all ports of call.  An avid sportsman, Tom especially enjoyed fishing and hunting.  His "Just The Guys" fishing trip to the Middle Dean River in British Columbia and deer hunting in Central Oregon were his yearly highlights.  He enjoyed down-hill skiing, water skiing, photography, model building, astronomy and stamp collecting.  Tom was preceded in death by his wife, Jane in 2001, and is survived by sons, Robert Thomas Henshaw of Eugene, Richard Norman Henshaw of Portland, and the six grand children he chased all over Disney World: Alex, Samantha, Madeline, Maxwell, Megan and Molly.  A loving husband and father, a loyal friend, and a guy who could figure out how to fix anything.  We'll all see you in Heaven.
