Dear Fred and Family,
While I never had the opportunity to meet Harry in person, I am, none the less, touched by his life and work. I came to Stamford 10 years ago this very day (April 15).

We have read the news with sadness. Our condolences to all the Bennetts.

Dear Mrs.Bennett, Betsey,Jan and Fred
My heart is very sad today, I will deeply miss my friend and employer of over 20 years. I was very proud to have worked as Mr. Bennett's private secretary and to be able to see his children grow up into wonderful adults. He was a wonderful kind, honest and generous man who will be missed dearly.
My Deepest Sympathys to the family.
