Not sure what to say?

Hi Donna just seeing this ...Jay and I We're reminiscing about the mayor and how fun it was to be in the neighborhood...and Harry's antics and comments about car backfiring when he knew jay was taking out a groundhog....and the stories when he came north to hunt with Jay and Mark ...so sorry
for your loss he was great guy

I am so sorry that I did not receive the bad news of Harrys passing. Harry and I worked together for a very long time. We worked what was called a drag job. From 2:00 AM until 4:30 AM the caboose doors were locked , stove hot and very load snoring from within. We always worked good together. Tricks were often pulled on fellow railroad employees. Harry pulled a classic one on me. IT was great not the right place to explain.

He has been in our lives since the late sixties....we shared a lot of time together and we loved him and his children...........Rest in the arms of the angels old friend.

I'm so very sorry to hear about the passing of Harry. I worked with Harry for many years at Grand Trunk and Canadian National Railroads. Harry always was just a good guy to be around with his laugh and stories that he told. I would like to wish condolences to his entire family. RIP Harry
