Henriksen, Eugene
...He Cherished Life EUGENE HENRIKSEN, a lifelong San Bernardino County resident, was born August 20, 1932, at St. Bernardine Hospital and died there on October 14, 2007. An honors student and varsity football player, he was a member of Fontana's Newman High School's first graduating class. He was a U.S. Navy veteran, athlete and highly effective, many times commended law enforcement officer for the Rialto Police Department. He was later a long time range master and firearms instructor for the San Bernardino Police Department. His professional career in public service spanned more than five decades. As a law enforcement officer he worked assignments in patrol, as well as the detective bureau and later attained the rank of sergeant. He was an outspoken advocate for vigorous law enforcement in the belief that the most valuable contribution police officers can make to public safety was in the apprehension of the perpetrators of crime. He loved the out-of-doors and appreciated fine craftsmanship, learning about the art of high quality precision woodworking in close association with his Danish cabinetmaker grand father Henry HENRIKSEN. Accompanying his father, at that time a San Bernardino National Forest Ranger, he began what became an intimate acquaintance with the waters, woods and brushlands of the County's valleys, deserts and surrounding mountains. In search of trout, he fished the streams of the Sierras, Idaho's lakes Coeur d' Alene and Pend Oriel, and the creeks and ponds of Aroostook County, Maine. He cherished life, friends and his close knit loving family, leaving Florence his wife of fifty-five years, son Raymond HENRIKSEN, son Richard HENRIKSEN and wife Rhonda, daughter Rachelle Phillips and husband Wally, granddaughters Dondee Sittisuphachoke and Amanda Schwartz, grandsons Joshua HENRIKSEN and Zachary and Dominic Phillips, great grandchildren Katrina and Tyler Sittisuphachoke and Cameron HENRIKSEN, brother Lester HENRIKSEN and wife Barbara of Albuquerque, New Mexico, niece Clare Gernert of Madison, Wisconsin, niece Marta HENRIKSEN of Albuquerque, New Mexico and nephew Lars HENRIKSEN of Ashburn, Virginia.
