Capt. Harry R. Ackley Sr.

I just don’t understand. No-one spoke to me of this life long friend being ill. He asked me to meet his wife at lady FFD gathering but I got way-layer. Please would love to speak with Karen now

Harry will certainly be missed by all. I worked overtimes while I was with the FFD with him. We were on different shifts. He was fearless.

my heart goes out to the family , keep your heads up and thoughts positive during this difficult time . Mr. Ackley (as we called him growing up ) was a good hearted man always willing to help always kind .

It was such fun spending time with Harry, Karen and family the last trip to California! We laughed, went to church, ate, and got to know what a good heart and kind soul Harry was.
He remembered his brothers and their wives back home needing prayer, and requested prayers for them. Always thinking of those who needed help.
Now, God is holding him close to his heart saying; “Well done my good and faithful servant, well done my son.”
We lost a great human being, heaven gained an...

I am extreme happy that I got to know & work with Harry
A nicer person you every could meet

Fair winds and following seas.

Our thoughts are with you as you all go through this tough time. Lots of love.

I was Harry's Division Officer on the USS Davidson in 1966-67. He was a very pleasant, dedicated, good natured, hard working sailor. I had the pleasure of running into him and his brother Chris at a Davidson reunion in San Diego in 1913. We swapped stories and caught up on our lives. Wonderful time. I have attached a photo of the two of us at that event. My deepest condolences to Karen, Chris, and the rest of Harry's family. He was a true gentleman. Wish I had known him better.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
