David Ray Henkle, son of Ralph Henkle and Maxine Knapp-Wilson, was born on November 20, 1952 in Sidney, NE. After graduating from Sidney High School in 1972, David joined the military and served in the Army. His service to our country took him to Germany. After returning from the service, David was his own kind of modern vagabond throughout his life. David worked many different occupations. Most of the jobs he took required him to use his hands: drilling water wells, welding, road construction, city street maintenance, and construction. Most of his years were spent in the oil fields of Wyoming and Utah. He was a resident of Jones, OK until moving back home to Sidney to be closer to family.
