I just received a very sad call from Janice Henrie - Roger Henrie passed away yesterday after a 6 month battle with a fast moving lung cancer. She said he began feeling poorly last August - no appetite or energy, but didn't want to talk to his doctor so finally she did. Testing revealed the diagnosis but it was too late. She also said he was suffering and in a great deal of pain, and in one sense, she is glad his suffering is over. He was 82 and is survived his wife and one living son.

His wife asked me to post this notice, but I do so with a heavy heart. He was naturally creative & innovative, and of course, a titan and pioneer in shooting sports. I'll always cherish my memories with him, especially his deep quiet intelligence. RIP my friend.

Another great one passes on. Roger was a wonderful guy and a great inspiration to many builders in the Slingshot world. He was a very skilled craftsman and a really nice guy. Condolences to his family. RIP Roger.

As soon as I saw the title my heart sank. If the condolences of a stranger means anything I extend mine wholeheartedly.

Awww man, I saw the title and feared the worst. Roger was a great guy and an innovator. I own and cherish several of his rotating head slings. My condolences to his family and those that knew him well.

I've had several great influencers from the slingshot world.... Roger ranks as my greatest when it comes to design and ergonomics.

His insight and natural creativity will be sorely missed... To be further honest, his was the opinion I valued the most when it came to my own designs.

He was a very innovative man, first to curve the slingshot. Not to mention the rotating heads. He will be sorely missed. No more pain buddy! Your family is in my prayers.

Could not ask for a better testament to Roger. RIP

I've been a fan of Roger's since I got into slingshots.

He contributed so much to this community.

He lead a long productive life. It is sad that it ended that roughly.
