Harry's family. Your father was a prince in my opinion. He was the kindest, dearest, most generous person I ever knew. Thank you for welcoming me into your midst for the past 3 years. It was a joyful time. I share your sorrow at his passing.

Harry,
We will miss sitting next to you at church every sunday. You were such a gentleman, and you had a fun sense of humor. We eagerly awaited your return to the pew from your many vacations. You lived life to the fullest and we never dreamed you would be gone so soon. We didnt get to say goodbye..so "Peace be with You" to our dear friend.

As a pre-teen in the late 50's, I was Harry's "Bee Boy," & worked one summer as a custodian/errand boy at Martyr & Curry. Harry was wonderful to me, & even wrote a letter of recommendation for any future employment. I haven't seen him in 50+ years, but I have never forgotten the successful, gracious & generous guy for whom I had a great deal of respect.

Our family had the pleasure of Harry in our lives for just a short time. He was as genuine as they come.
