Statement by Premier King on the passing of the Honourable George Henderson

Premier Dennis King issued the following statement on the passing of the Honourable George Henderson: 

“I was saddened to learn of George Henderson’s passing. He was a passionate Islander with a deep love for his family and community. 

Mr. Henderson was steadfast in his commitment to public service, representing the people of Prince Edward Island as a Member of the Legislative Assembly and Member of Parliament. He will long be remembered for his contributions to our province, and his resolve for public service lives on through his children, including his son Robert who currently serves as a Member of the Legislative Assembly. 

On behalf of all Islanders and the Government of Prince Edward Island, I extend my deepest condolences to his family and friends.”
