  • Notes 
    • Husband of Helen Marie Williams Bates. Grew up with nine brothers and sisters in various locations in central Missouri. The most time being spent on the Oswald farm in Cooper county where his father, Henry Bates, worked as a hired hand.

      Drafted right out of High School into the Army. He served in the US Army from July of 1944 until August of 1946. He reenlisted again in March of 1948, and served until 1952 in the US Army Air Force: the predecessor of today's Air Force. While in the military, Henry received the following awards: Victory Medal, Asiatic Pacific Theater Ribbon, 2 Overseas Service Bars, Army Of Occupation Medal Japan, and the Good Conduct Medal.
      During this time, he was stationed in Texas where he met his future wife Helen Williams. They had three children: Charles Henry, Gene Wayne, and Gregory Lynn.

      After Henry left the military, he worked for Boeing Aircraft in Wichita Kansas for 19 years, and then moved to Topeka Kansas where he worked for the United States Postal Service until his retirement in 1987.

      During his retirement, him and his wife Helen travelled all over the country with both their R.V. camping clubs, and their youngest son Greg.

      The last few years of his life, Henry spent much time taking care of his wife Helen who was suffering from Alzheimers disease.

      He is missed by both his family and friends, but will be remembered forever.
