Judy,
Dianne and I are grateful that we were able to spend time with Harry at our last Moose Legion Conferal. Harry and I had alot in common in that we both did a career in the Navy. Our prayers were with you and your family Sunday at church. A donation will be made to Massey Cancer in Harry's name at the upcoming convention. We loved him and will surely miss him deeply. May God rest his weary soul.
