To Harry's family,

Ken and I wish to send our love and sympathy to all of you.

I have known Harry for many years,

he loved the outdoors, especially

swimming, boating and camping.

I will always cherish the fun and wonderful memories when Peg and I

went to Waupaca Wisconsin along with the rest of the gang,

and there was Harry,putting the pedal to the metal, past all of us in his Camaro.

He loved his family. He loved his

country. He was so brave.

We always liked getting together for our birthdays. I shared my birthday with him. We will miss him.

To Harry

FIRE UP!!!

That was his way of saying

see you later.



Regards,

Nancy and Ken Harless
