There was no sign that he was ill, so, mercifully, his death must have been sudden. <br /> <br /> The thing I most liked about John Henderson is that he never stopped living life to its fullest. After he retired from medicine--and he practiced medicine long after other doctors would have retired--he started a whole new career: writing books about Atheism. <br /> <br /> John learned from scratch about the publishing business--how to get published, how to let your work be edited, how to market your books. He brought to his books and his lectures a kind of folksy wisdom and a respect for all people. He was, in fact, a teacher, both, I think, in his medical career and in his writing career. His attitude was, I've lived a long time; this is what I've learned and I want to share it with you. <br /> <br /> John Henderson leaves behind, besides his wonderful partner, his wife Ruth, a legacy of books and wisdom. I want to live my life the way John did. <br /> Goodbye, John. We will miss you. Dr. Henderson spoke to New York City Atheists this past spring about his latest book, Judging God.

John Henderson leaves behind, besides his wonderful partner, his wife Ruth, a legacy of books and wisdom. I want to live my life the way John did.
Goodbye, John. We will miss you.

Several times I had the pleasure of lively discussions with him based upon his books on "Atheist Viewpoint" and "NYC Atheists Live! (On Tape)." My deepest condolences to Ruth and the rest of his family. It is with sadness that we mark the passing of Dr. Henderson.
