It is with a heavy heart that I write this. I have known Harry since grade school and was saddened to hear of his passing. The memorial tribute was wonderful and I am sure he will be missed my many. I will keep each of you in my prayers over the coming months, but try to remember the good times you had together and all the happy memories you made as a family.

Joe,
Didn't really get to know your Dad, but you and I attended school together, and I knew Harry also, and your Dad had to be a good man, as he raised a family with good morals; love and respect for others.
Very sorry for all of you. But I know your Mom and you, along with family and friends will find the "Strength" you'll need during this time in "Jesus Christ"!
May "GOD" comfort all your hearts, knowing your father is in Heaven, a much better place, as he awaits all of you one day to join him. God bless ya.
Love ya brother!
