George Herbert "Buck" Henshaw, a World War II prisoner of war who went on to become a set designer for TV shows including "Magnum P.I."
and "Hawaii Five-0," has died. He was 85. Henshaw died Aug. 20 at The Queen's Medical Center, according to a news release from his publicist. The cause of death was not disclosed. During his years as a set decorator,
Henshaw designed for the shows of George Burns and Gracie Allen, Jack Benny, Ralph Edwards, Red Skelton and Carol Burnett. He earned two Emmy nominations for his work, in 1957 for "Playhouse 90" and in 1982 for
the pilot of "Tales of the Gold Monkey." While attending Punahou School, Henshaw worked as a student reporter for the Honolulu Star-Bulletin. After graduating from Stanford University, he returned to the paper as a columnist.
He graduated from the Naval Officer Candidate School in Annapolis, Md., and was assigned to Wake Island as a communications officer. When Wake Island surrendered to Japanese forces in 1941, Henshaw became a prisoner
of war until 1945. Upon his release, he was commended by President Harry Truman and promoted to lieutenant commander. After the war, Henshaw got a job as an usher at CBS Studios before becoming a set designer. Henshaw also wrote the songs "Hula Breeze" and "Our Last Aloha." Henshaw is survived by his close friend and associate of 35 years, Wally White, and by a niece. [Honolulu Advertiser, August 26, 2003]
