I am Spencer Bowyer, Great Nephew of Great Uncle Harry's. Aunt Jo & Uncle Harry always went out of their way to be the best relatives they could be. My most recent(and by far the best) memory of Harry is when he spoke at my wedding in 3/07. He was also fun to be around, and always had wise and kind words to express. I will miss him dearly.

I am Steve Baggin from Tucson now living in California.
Harry was my Uncle brother of Lillian my mother. I was saddened to learn of his passing last Friday. My thoughts and wishes go out to my Aunt and cousins.
I remember the dinners at the original house outside in the screened in porch. I also remember a chinese restaurant that Harry loved the sweet and sour whole fish they served. I must say he was like a surgeon when it came to de-boning a fish.
We had wonderful times as I grew up. Even though we where in Tucson we would spend a weekend as often as we could in Phoenix.
Then came the house in Scottsdale and the white carpet in the living room. :) Harry loved his family and that was still felt when we visited him last year.
There are so many good thoughts and times we had as families together, it is just to numerous to write here. I will always have the picture of Harry in my heart and mind forever. You will be missed.
