William Henry Jenkins Senior of Newport News, Virginia sadly passed away on the evening of February 23, 2021. He was the father of six children; brother to nine siblings and had many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild. William worked as a chef for numerous years and was a loyal member of the Masons for over 30 years. He acquired a special love for classical music, "The Ride of the Valkyrie" was among his favorites. His best-loved sport was baseball, although he was known to tell people that the Washington Redskins was his favorite football team. He first heard a Redskins game on the very first radio he purchased in 1942. A memorial service will be held later this year.
