Hendry graduated from Trade Tech in 1973 as a Master Journeyman Tile Setter. He was an extremely hard worker and was able to master his craft which afforded him the ability to provide a comfortable life for his wife Frances and his children Joseph, Leann, and Michael.

Hendry thoroughly enjoyed spending time with his kids, grandkids, having quick chats over the phone with loved ones, watching old westerns, and taking care of his little wiener dog, Chiquito.

Hendry was a tough man but was equally caring and generous. He wasn’t afraid to tell you what he thought and at the same time was concerned if you were alright.

Though Hendry was a man a few words, he had his own special way of letting you know he was thinking of you and that he loved you. We all love you right back Hendry. You will be greatly missed and never forgotten.

Be cool dad…we’ll see you in the fall when we’re all in heaven together again.

He is survived by (son) Joseph Martinez, (daughter) Leann Wilson, (son) Michael Valencia, (brother) Tony Martinez, (brother) David Corral, (brother) Andy Corral, and his grandchildren JP Martinez, Francisco Martinez, Grace Martinez, Alexander Valencia, Leinani Valencia, and Gabriel Valencia.

He is preceded in death by his father Tony Leno Martinez, mother Hope Mary (Sanchez) Corral, step-father Francisco Flores Doroteo Corral, and his wife Frances Martinez.
