I just learned of Harry's death today and wanted to offer my condolences to his family. Harry and I served in the same community years ago, and we're both part of a clergy group that met together for awhile. Harry became a dear friend to me.
Always so filled with grace, always offering encouragement. Such a sweet and gentle soul, he had a rich and deep spirituality that made a great impact on me, and so many others fortunate to have known him.
Reading of his death, I feel a combination of sadness and gratitude, death at the loss of a dear friend, and gratitude for having known him, and been so blessed by his friendship and faith.

We were so sorry to hear of the death of Harry, who was a much loved former pastor of our church in Jefferson. He meant so much to our family and will always be remembered.
