Sue, Kim & Andrew,
Our hearts are with you today. Harry is and always will be a part of the good memories I hold of living up North. He always took pride and the time to keep his many good friends on the road. Colleen, Colton and I send all of our love to you and the Sanders family. I know Harry was proud of the friendships he had built and I am sure that will be reflected in the support you are receiving from the close friends he leaves behind.

JR, Heymer & Gillis:
Brothers, it breaks my heart that I cannot be with you during this time to offer support and reflect on the times we have all shared with Harry. A lot of the world does not realize they lost a big man with a big heart today and that is the world's loss. I share with you in the pain.

Your Brother,
Johnny Holmes
