We treasure our wonderful times with Harry. First met him in Starcraft Camper Club. We always looked forward to seeing he and Betty when we returned to Virginia--he was a special friend. God bless and comfort Betty and the family.

We first Harry and Betty in 1999, when we came to Camp Inn.He had the most friendly smile. He always had a kind word to say. We missed him when he no longer came back to Camp Inn. We are very sorry for the family's loss, and the Camp Inn familys loss.

Both Raymond and I send our deepest sympathy to Harry's family and to Betty. They were our neighbors in Fla. for many years and we have missed them both. God has the better plan and I am sure Harry is in a better place. May God's grace be on you all at this time.

Barbara, I am sorry for the passing of your uncle Harry. I only met him one time when I was 14 years old when your dad, the late Colonel Chester D Harding drove us by his house. It was when your dad had the Glastron boat business at Staples Mill & Hilliard roads.

Condolences to his friends and family.

Harry was an "uncle" to cherish, even after he and my Dad's sister divorced. Years later after my sister and I had been in many places, he learned that my husband and I were living near Betty's daughter. We were blessed to renew the old relationship and to get to know Betty and her daughter Bonnie and her husband, Vernon. Uncle Harry was a beloved, good-natured and kind person.

"Betty Blue and Harry, Too" - whenever we saw one, we saw the other. What a pair they made! My mother and Betty worked together at The Hermitage and when she passed away we continued our friendship with Betty, then Harry. We will miss him. Our condolences to Betty and his family.
