Harry was a true "gentle-man". He had a kind spirit. Harry (& Margie) welcomed us to the "ridge" when we moved to the community. Harry was always looking up, and had a way of making you feel good. Harry & Margie were such a sweet couple. Was a blessing to know them.

Harry, So sorry to hear about your Dad. My Mom & Dad often spoke highly of him. I know he will be missed but what a remarkable time God gave him here on earth. Remember the joy and laughter.
I'm sorry I won't be able to attend his service but please know that you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
