It was my privilege to know Bill Henrich and to serve as a faculty member for the last 7 of my 26 years at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UT Health San Antonio) under his presidency. His door was always open to me when expressing viewpoints and concerns of the faculty because he recognized the importance of the roles of the faculty in its educational and research functions. Accordingly, he supported those roles. Bill was always organized, thoughtful, caring and visionary. It was a delight to meet with him one-on-one, as well as to hear his state-of-the-institution addresses, whether they brought good news or bad. He brought dignity to UT Health San Antonio, which has contributed so much to the health and welfare of the San Antonio community. The influence and motivation of his spirit will be felt deeply by the San Antonio community for decades to come. —Bettie Sue Masters, Ph.D.
