I love you,Grandpa. You loved everyone. You are watching us in heaven right now I think, with Jesus. You were a brave man, being in the military. You golfed and hunted. I will see you again in heaven. God bless you, and remember I love you very much.

I met Harry only briefly several times when he was with Carnation in Mt. Vernon. We discussed our experiences
in milk processing. It was fascinating being with one who understood the intricacies of the processes, but he would never disclose any of Carnation's secret critical temperatures! Then we would laugh.
Lois, I send my condolences.

Grandpa Harry was an honorable man. I enjoyed every minute I had with him. I loved to hear his stories and often wanted to hear more. I enjoyed the few times we were alone and shared meals. I loved him deeply and I will miss him very much. He was the best grandfather that I ever knew! I know that we had a special spiritual connection and I enjoyed praying with him. We shared similar values and had a very special connection. I will love him always. I pray that God bring comfort to all of the family and friends of this fine man.

Harry Armintrout was my grandfather. He has influenced my life more than he'll ever know. I have very fond memories of visits to my grandparents house, especially when they resided in California. It was always a good time going to the golf course with him. Some of the best memories and times in my life involved him. I will miss him very much. - Barry Flagg
