Not sure what to say?

I remember when I was in college, Harry took me to a bar & gave me some tips about patrons, he said the ones to worry about were the quiet ones.

Veterans Day is coming up tomorrow and we should remember Harry as a proud veteran of the Marines in the Pacific during World War II.

Thank you so much, Tom, for your thoughtful condolences. We all miss Dad so much, it's hard to believe he's gone, but we talk to him all the time...hopefully he can hear us. I'll let Mom and Mary know you wrote. Hope all is well with you. Thank you again for your kindness. Best, Jeanne

Harry will be missed by all who were fortunate enough to know him.

Dear Dan,
Thank you so much for your heartfelt sympathy and memories of my father. Having been associated with him through Jackson Products, you no doubt are familiar with one of his favorite mottos, "Aim High" which is indicative of his zest for life. He was a great man who is greatly missed.
Kindest regards,
Jeanne Illenye & The Beck Family

Dear Teresa and Regina,
Thank you for your heartfelt sympathy regarding the loss of my father. He was so vibrant and convivial, always offering a kind word and a smile. We truly appreciate that you've shared such lovely memories with us.
Kindest regards,
Jeanne Illenye & The Beck Family

I met Harry at my work and he was always such a gentleman. He told me I could remember his name by the beer. Beck Beer. I will misss seeing him come in and talking to him.

I've worked for the City of East Grand Rapids for 12 years and I can say of everyone who has ever come into these offices Mr. Beck was the nicest, most friendliest man around. I just loved to see his smile; his thoughtfulness to ask about my fellow employees. I am surely going to miss the best resident I was blessed to serve. Peace be with you all.
