Our Amazing Auditors – The Inspiring Story of Howard Henderson

Our Amazing Auditors series celebrates the individuals who make Perry Johnson Registrars, Inc. (PJR) an extraordinary organization. Behind every audit report lies the dedication, compassion, and perseverance of professionals who embody integrity and excellence. Today, we highlight one of our own—Howard Henderson—whose courage and positivity continue to inspire everyone who knows him.
Meet Howard Henderson – A True Example of Strength
In the world of auditing, where precision and diligence are essential, Howard’s story transcends numbers and procedures. A valued member of our amazing auditors team, Howard has been battling a rare form of Leukemia with unshakable faith and determination. Diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML), he chose to confront this challenge head-on, showing the same resilience that defines his approach to life and work.
Howard’s fight has taken him to the renowned M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas, where he is preparing for a stem cell transplant with his sister, Lisa, as his donor. He refers to this next phase as his “BIG DANCE,” a phrase that perfectly captures his fighting spirit and optimism. April 7th marked the start of an intensive chemotherapy regimen, followed by his life-saving transplant on April 15th. Through every step of this demanding process, Howard’s determination continues to inspire the entire PJR community.
More Than an Auditor – A Man of Faith and Compassion
Howard is known not only for his professional excellence but also for his selfless kindness. Even while undergoing treatment, he continues to extend support and encouragement to others. His colleagues describe him as someone who listens, uplifts, and prays for those in need—an incredible testament to his empathy and unwavering character.
“We all love Howard!” one team member shared. “From the day he told us about his diagnosis, his strength and positivity amazed us. Even during treatment, he continued conducting virtual audits—proof of his commitment and work ethic.”
Howard’s faith, courage, and sense of humor have become a source of hope for those around him. His story reminds us that heroes don’t always wear capes—sometimes, they wear auditor badges and make a difference simply by showing up with heart and integrity.
