I am honored to have known him and will always be proud to be...

Harry you will be missed by all. You were truly a wonderful person. You had a gift that made everyone around you feel valued and important. I will always remember the great times we had together as colleagues of the Chesapeake School System and the rivalry between Great Bridge and Western Branch. Love to your wonderful family.
