I worked with Harry for several years at Westover Job Corps. I suspect that Harry was a long lost relative as my dad told me that many Gaumonds moved to Worcester. He touched my life and the lives of thousands of disadvantaged youth.
Harry was and will remain a legend of selflessness and giving.

"Bud" was very instrumental in my life
thoughout my younger years. He taught me,at the age of 9, to blow the bugle and later on to blow the trumpet, and both instruments I still play eventhough I'm 82 years old. On Monday,at 2:30 in Auburn, I will honor you by playing "TAPS" on my old bugle.
GOD bless you, from Pete Savko
