I was blessed to know Harry during his years at The College of Saint Rose. Harry was a person who always had the interests and care of others at heart. He was a special part of our Saint Rose community. May he now rest in peace. I am sorry I cannot be with you in person at this time but be assured of my prayers.

To Edie and her beloved family,
I have had the pleasure if only for a short time to know Harry through the Stephentown Seniors. He was very well liked by all there and he will be dearly missed by so many of us. He is now in his final resting place so now my prayers go out to Edie. God Bless!
"Let not the cup of pain overflow the heart, but seek for the joy that remains in the memories, made sweeter by living and knowing that loss is Heaven's gain.
