To Daisy, Judy and Bruce,
Mom (Doris Frazier) called last night to inform me of Harry's passing. I was so sorry to hear and express my deepest condolences. Our family's memories of holidays and visits before we left New York in 1958 are priceless to me. I especially loved Christmas, decorating the tree, and many good meals all those years past. I will cherish our trip to Elma a few years ago, visiting with you and sharing about our families. Harry hadn't changed, so warm and such a bright smile. Peace be with you and God Bless as you deal with his passing. He was a wonderful man and you are a terrific family.

To the Carlson Family:
Few people I know had the Gentleman type qualities that Harry so often displayed. He truly was a great American that I (and many others) looked up to. He will be greatly missed.

You are in our prayers.

Dear Aunt Evelyn and family,
Please know that Chris and I share in your grief and sadness with Harry's passing. He was such a caring uncle to us and we know he was a one of-a-kind husband, father, grandfather and brother to all of you. We will so miss his smile and sense of humor and his trips "down south" to visit the relatives. Please know we care.
We love you,
Jeanne and Chris

Harry's infectious smile and quiet manner will be greatly missed by the members of the Elma Historical Society. He was our Mr. Fixit when he served as trustee of the Society and was always eager to cook the hot dogs at the essay contest picnic.
He was insturmental in the planning stages for building our Barn Museum which is a historic asset to the community.
