William Griffith Henshaw III passed away peacefully surrounded by his family at Summit Medical Center on March 18, 2010. William was the son of William Griffith Henshaw Jr. and Florence Irene Rowlands Henshaw. He was born on September 18, 1923, and lived his first year in San Francisco. He was predeceased by his sister, Mary-tom Henshaw Leefeldt. The Henshaw family moved to Piedmont in 1924. He attended Frank C. Havens, Piedmont Jr. High, and graduated from the Webb School of California. Bill attended the University of California at Berkeley and received a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering. At Cal, Bill was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity. Bill was the loving and devoted husband of Patricia Madigan Henshaw, whom he married on June 3, 1950. Pat and Bill would have celebrated their 60th anniversary this June. They were blessed with three children: Julia Irene Henshaw (Alejandro Cerda), Alla Patricia Henshaw Ponty, and William Griffith Henshaw IV. They have five grandsons: George S. Ponty, Trevor Henshaw Ponty, William S. Ponty, William Griffith Henshaw V and Matthew Madigan Henshaw. Bill was a devoted husband, father and grandfather. Bill began his career as an electrical engineer with Pacific Gas and Electric Co. He became President of the Henshaw Investment Co., a family holding company, Warner Resort Company (parent company for Lake Henshaw in San Diego County), Eden Valley Ranch Company and the Los Tules Mutual Water Company. He was Chairman of the Executive and Retirement Committees at Riverside Cement Company, which subsequently became the American Cement Company then Amcord. He continued in his chairmanship roles at both companies. Bill was also a Director of Hawaiian Cement, the Secretary-Treasurer of the Hiram Tubbs Estate, Director of Tubbs Cordage, a trustee of the Riverside Cement Fund. One of Bill's greatest joys was serving on the board of the Webb School for over 20 years, during which time he served as Vice President of the Executive Committee. He had been listed in past publications of Who's Who in America. Bill was a third generation Californian. He was a third generation and fifty-year member of the Pacific Union Club, and also a third generation member of the Claremont Country Club, of which his grandfather was a founding member. He was also a former third generation member of the California Club, and member of the Glenbrook Club. Bill enjoyed music of all kinds and was a long time supporter of the San Francisco Opera. Bill was an extremely hard working and unassuming individual who took the "Honor Code" taught at the Webb School to heart, and incorporated the code of honor into his family, business and civic life. Some of Bill's fondest memories were of riding and fishing at his family's ranch, Eden Valley. He had a heritage with railroading and enjoyed railroad history his whole life. Bill especially enjoyed time with his grandfather, the Western District Supervisor of Central Pacific, riding in his private car. He enjoyed time with his family at Glenbrook, Warner Springs, Snowmass and Hawaii. Bill was a voracious reader, very mechanically minded and had a keen intellect, right up until the day he died. He thoroughly enjoyed discussions on many varied topics, (especially politics!) and was a source of knowledge and information for many. He will be missed greatly by his family and many friends. A memorial service will be held on Friday, April 23rd, at 2:00 p.m. at Mountain View Cemetery. Reception to follow. At the family's request donations may be made in his name to The Webb Schools of California, 1175 W. Baseline Road, Claremont, CA, 91711, or to a charity of your choice.
