Not sure what to say?

Lois,
We were so sorry to hear of Harry's passing. Believe it or not we still have Oldies dinner, so Saturday we toasted Harry and what a special man he was. Some of our cohorts didn't know Harry and asked about him. What could we tell them. He was a special person. A man of integrity and his convictions. He will be sorely missed.

Fondly,
Fred and Lois Covati

I am so sorry for your loss. I am your new neighbor in the yellow house down the hill. My son Greg is your across the road neighbor. We spent many terrific afternoons with Harry at the glass house on the brook and I was hoping for many more. Please never hesitate to reach out if we can help you in any way.

Im so sorry for your loss. Harry was quite a man! Im truly honored to have had the opportunity to know him and spend fun times with him over the years- often over the fine wine he would share with us when he came to Baltimore.

One of my fondest memories of Harry is when he came to my place for breakfast, during one of his Baltimore trips. What a day that was- he chummed it up with my father under plenty of sunshine and blue skies, who happened to have been visiting from Texas at...

So sorry to hear of Harry's Passing. He was a true gentleman and we had many great conversations while at BHCC. He will be missed.
