After recently publishing an article "Two Detectives Commended" about D.C's Robert "Bob" Kinnon and William "Billy" Henry receiving  Commissioner's commendations for successfully investigating a significant illegal drugs case (see http://expobermuda.com/index.php/articles/650-two-detectives-commended )   we put out a request for information about the whereabouts of Billy on both our website and our Facebook page.  

We first heard from Ken Lewis who provided telephone numbers and an address in Brooklyn, New York, for Billy and told us that he last spoke with Billy last October 2017 by phone.  We were unable to make contact with Billy, but we then had a reply to our request from Neal Richardson who advised us that, very sadly,  Billy had passed away last November, just a few weeks after his conversation with Ken.  Neal provided us with a link to Billy's obituary which you can view at http://marineparkfh.com/tribute/details/2264/William-Henry/obituary.html#content-start

Billy was born in Bermuda and he joined the Bermuda Police in April 1976, serving here until October1982.  He was serving in Narcotics when he received the Commissioner's commendation.  

Editors note  -  I will check Billy's record in the Police Register for details of his various transfers.

According to his obituary, Billy served in the U.S. Army - Military Police and later as a Sergeant in the Gulf Stream Police in Florida before moving to New York where he worked as an Operating Engineer in trhe International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 14.

We offer our sincere condolences to Billy's five brothers and sisters and his family.  Anyone wishing to do so can also send condolences through the obituary address above.
