He is preceded in death by his loving first wife of 53 years, Juanita Ford Henderson, who passed away in October 1993. Remarried in 1995, Courtland's devoted second wife, Thelma Henderson preceded him as well in February 2011. After winning the Sherman Scholarship in 1936, "Court" proudly graduated with honors from Purdue University in 1940 with a Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering.
In college, he was an undefeated welterweight boxer. His career spanned four companies in Indiana, New York, Missouri and Ohio.
