James P. (Jim) Henno
Long time Kent resident, James Henno, passed away on August 7, 2013. He was born to parents Margaret and Alfred Henno in San Bernardino, California on April 27, 1948. The family returned to Washington in 1950 and settled in Kent. Jim graduated from Kent Meridian in 1966. After graduation he joined the Army and served in Viet Nam.
Jim loved watching NASCAR on TV and going to Pacific Raceways to watch the drags. He spent many weekends at the races with his nephews and their friends. He was known by many as ”Uncle Jim”.
Jim worked as a metal polisher at Protective Coatings in Kent for 30+ years. He had many treasured friends within the company.
Jim is survived by his Life Partner, Joyce; brother Jon Michael Henno of Kent; sisters Carole Wolfe of Kent; and Susan Hodges of Deer Park. Other family members include nephews Stan Croppi, Keith Croppi, Aaron Hodges, Scott Hodges, Vincent Price, and Mark Hays; nieces Carina Croppi Komarzec and Jana Flanigan; and 11 great nieces and nephews.
At his request there will be no memorial services. A celebration of Jim’s life will be held at a later date.
The family suggests donations to Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research in Jim’s name.
