Shirley and sons along with your families - so very, very sorry about Harry's passing. We'll miss seeing him ride around the yard on the mower - always throwing up a hand in greeting. Many lives have been enriched just by knowing Shirley and Harry. Christmas greetings always special with a trip or an adventure for that particular year -something to look forward too. What wonderful memories you have - 50th Anniversary and many trips. Four sons raised well -- a lot of good living in 81 years. Harry lead by example and will be kindly missed. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
