Henry Clarence Whipple

Henry C. Whipple Tex, 70 years old of Norwood, Missouri, went to his heavenly home on April 21, 2015.
Henry was born to the late Henry Edward and Lucille (Anderson) Whipple on April 14, 1945 in Beloit, Kansas. At a young age Henry and his family moved to the Norwood, Missouri area. There he had many friends and most who knew him, called him Tex.
Henry never knew a stranger and always had a fresh pot of coffee for anyone who came through the door. Henry loved to farm and was always willing to help others with their farms, especially his best friends, Don and Elva Newman. Henry loved to hunt and always looked forward to deer season when he could take his grandkids hunting.
Besides his parents, Henry was preceded in death by one sister.
He is survived by his loving wife with whom he shared the last 44 years: Marcia Whipple of the home; six children: Billie Jo Whitaker of Norwood, Missouri, Cindy Whipple of Norwood, Missouri, Cassy Schrader of Norwood, Missouri, Eddie Whipple and his wife, Lisa, of Centralia, Missouri, Cathy Murray and her husband, Trent, of Mansfield, Missouri, and Scott Whipple and his wife, Jessie, of Leonore, Illinois; sixteen grandchildren; fifteen great-grandchildren and another to arrive in October; and a host of many friends.
In lieu of flowers, the family would like donations be made to:
