William “Bill” Henson, longtime editor and co-publisher of York County’s YC Magazine, has died, his wife Pam said.

Henson was 66. Henson died April 8, at home, his wife said.

“For many people, he was known as Mr. York County, and that was very special to him,” Pam Henson said.

Bill Henson loved to bring people together, and he had a fierce sense of loyalty to the York County community, his wife said.
