Not sure what to say?

Dory,I was at a lost for words when I first heard of Harry's passing and didn't share any thoughts. However, I wish to make a brief comment now. I just want to say, and I am sure you know, Harry was one of the must respected and admired individuals that ever worked at Lorain. From my first encounter with Harry I knew I would enjoy working with him , getting to know him and become a friend. My heart goes out to you and Jessica for your lost. There will be no filling of that void, but with the...

I am so sad to see you go, but i am so excited about where you are!!
I will always remember that smile and will miss you!!

I have the profound privilege of being Harry's mother.
May he rest in peace.

Harry Crossfield was, quite simply, one of the finest men I have ever known. His integrity was unwavering. He bore the strain of his illness with the same grace, dignity, and sense of humor that were the hallmark of his life. It was a privilege to be his friend. He will be sorely missed, but I have no doubt that he is now near the throne of the Father. Psalm 116.15

I have had the incredible honor of being Harry's brother. For 44 years I was fortunate enough to experience the power of his personality and the virtues of his spirit.

Harry was a wonderful role-model, mentor, coach, confidante, cheerleader, fishing buddy, friend, and most of all, inspiration to me. As brothers, we naturally fought and aggravated each other at times - but Harry was quite patient with a little brother who always wanted to tag along with him. He was always...

I have only known Harry for 3 1/2 years, but he became a trusted freind and mentor here at US Pipe. I remember when I was hired to work with the team on the SAP project. My role with Sales was similar to Harry's existing role with Production. As I was being introduced around the company, I was said to be "Harry's equivalent" in Sales. I was many times referred to as "SD's Harry". As I grew to know and love Harry, I realized what an honor it was to be mentioned in such a way. I can only hope...

Harry's gentle nature is an inspiration. It was a privilege to know him and to work with him.

My most sincere condolences to Dory. Both of them were a pleasure to know and work with at USS/KOBE.

Harry was a wonderful Dad and person all around. He was patient and loving! He never thought about himself. He always wanted to help other people before himself. I know that everyone will miss him. In Loving Memory of Harry B. Crossfield
Sincerly, Jessica Crossfield
