Miss you very much Uncle Harry, and Aunt Donna as well. May God have you at peace and in his loving care till we meet again! I hope you and Uncle Jelly and Aunt Rose and Mom (Gwen) and Dad (Clarence) are all drinking a beer and playing pinochle!

Hard to believe that 4 years have already passed.
Harry will always be remembered , especially when enjoying a cold beer.
Words like Old Style, Green Bay or the sound of a lawnmower will always remind me of Harry and the Judson Street bunch- put one in the freezer for me.

So sad to hear. Sending condolences from the Ozarka family to yours. He and Donna were my parents' neighbors on Judson St. and will forever be neighbors at Mt. Emblem.

Harry was a good friend and neighbor for many years. We will miss him, but find comfort in knowing that he is now at rest with his Donna.
