"Don" Henricks, 86, of Traverse City, died Monday, July 26, 2004, at Munson Hospice House, following an illness of several months. Born Dec. 9, 1917, in Milwaukee, he was the son of Edward A. and Gladys (VanOudshoorn) Henricks. He attended school in Milwaukee before joining the Army Air Corps as an aviation cadet in 1940. On July 2, 1941, he married Dorothy L. Dietzel. For the duration of World War II, he served as a flight instructor in California and Arizona, receiving his commission as a captain in 1943.

Don began a 32 year career in the automotive industry in 1947, joining the Oldsmobile Division as zone service representative in Madison, Wis. His later work with Oldsmobile in Lansing and Chicago led to a 1958 transfer to General Motors corporate headquarters in Detroit. He served for three years as a GM representative on the auto industry advisory committee to the National Highway Safety Board. He retired as director of product service training in 1979. Following retirement, Don and his wife settled in Traverse City where they were among the founders of the Friends of the Traverse Area District Library. The support Don provided to many local organizations was notable and included Interlochen Arts Academy, where he endowed a scholarship fund, in memory of his wife, following her death in 1990. But he will perhaps be best remembered for his trademark gifts of candy and pears to friends, neighbors and professional acquaintances and for his efforts to offer advice or a helping hand in almost any situation. He will also be remembered for his intelligence and independence and for being a gentleman in the truest sense of the word. Don is survived by two sons, Steve (Sue Ellen) Henricks of Traverse City and Douglas (Katherine) Henricks of Ft. Myers, Fla.; and three step grandchildren, Michael (Larine), and Danielle and Matthew Nixon, all of Florida.

His ashes will be buried in the Garden of Remembrance at the First Congregational Church in Traverse City. Don requested that memorial contributions be directed to the Henricks Visual Arts Scholarship Fund at Interlochen Arts Academy. "I'm leveled off at four thousand feet, watching for the luminosity in the sky ahead that will mark the city of Paris. I can imagine that I'm looking through the earth to the heavens on the other side. I want to prolong this culminating experience of my flight--I almost wish Paris were a few more hours away. It's a shame to land with the night so clear and so much fuel in my tanks." Charles A. Lindberg, Spirit of St. Louis. TRAVERSE CITY - Charles T.
