Not sure what to say?

Loved this man! He was my friend, Business friend, and most of all Mentor in the Financial Services Industry! He always called me "Jackson"! He was a true Professional and helped so many people! He touched many lives and surely blessed mine! Until we meet again, in our Heavenly home!

Harry was one of those people you always remember because of how he was a help to you. Always with a smile!

Chip:

I am so sorry that I did not know until now. Your dad was a mentor to me in the early 70's when I began my career in Finance. He quickly became like family to me! He rejoiced with me when my children were born and always called me "Jackson"! God blesses us with so many friends and memories in life. I will always cherish your dad's friendship! My prayers and thoughts will be with you and your family! Harry left a great legacy and was so respected by everyone!
