Harry was always a pleasure to talk to no matter how old I was. He is now talking to all his friends that have gone before him. May you receive comfort to know that Harry had a positive influence on whomever he was in contact with. Peace be with you Goldeane, Marilyn, Bev, Chuck, and Aunt Edith.

Your whole family is in our prayers right now. We wish distance was not an issue or we would certainly be there. We have many memories of different times with Harry when we think of the times spent with your family. We love you all.
