Not sure what to say?

Uncle Sonny was a light to every room. He shared his love of plants and knowledge and I Thank him for that. I loved him greatly and he will be missed be all.

Harry is amazing man we have ever known him for 34 years. Barbie and I agree he is a incredible green thumb. We will be looking forward to see him again under the tree of life and he will teach all of us how to plant the heavenly flowers and plants. We are so grateful that he is now asleep peacefully. Love, Chuck and Barbie McGehee from Tabernacle Church.

I will always remember Uncle Harry for his tenacious hugs, and loving smiles. He gave so much love.

As a child visiting my Uncle, Aunt, and cousins I always remember the animals and plants Uncle Sonny would proudly show us. One in particular that sticks in my mind is a baby alligator! The last time I saw him was with my sisters Judy, Karen, and Karen's son Ryan. We enjoyed sharing with him photos of family & gardens, a joyous time together. Sonny was such a loving and giving person.

So many memories of time spent at his house as a child with my best friend Denise. The flowers, the little Chihuahua dog, even lessons in nutrition. I had a plant that was from a cutting he gave my mother for nearly 20 years. Rest in Peace.

You are always the light of my life, you taught me a lot of things, and I thank you for being my dad. I enjoyed meeting your friends from the clubs who talks highly of you and I can see why. Thank you for being the best dad in the world. I love you always Dad, See you soon.

Thank you for the green thumb grandpa. You will be dearly missed, we love you.
