HIS FISH, DEER, DOVES, OKRA GUMBO, TOMATO GRAVY, POTATO SALAD....NO MATTER WHAT HE COOKED UP, IT WAS DELICIOUS!! I AM VERY THANKFUL THAT HE TOOK TIME TO TAKE MY SONS HUNTING WHEN THEY WERE GROWING UP AND THEY ARE ENJOYED BEING WITH HARRY. HE WAS A KIND MAN, A GOOD MENTOR AND HIS LEGACY OF THE GREAT OUTDOORS WILL ALWAYS STAY WITH OUR FAMILIES. WE WILL MISS HIM AND WE WILL ALWAYS CARRY HIS LOVE IN OUR HEARTS.
