Walter or Harry as he was known to many, were close friends from the first grade at Tyler School. Harry was always great fun to be with, along with his dry sense of humor, wit and great story telling. He was my best man when Mary and I were married. Those of us who had the pleasure of knowing Harry will always love him and miss him dearly. May he rest in piece.
