Dear DeVenoge Family,

I want to express to you all my sincere condolences for the loss of Harry. You all are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. He was a true gentleman and a scholar. Please keep in mind that he is definitely watching over you all from the heavens above.

God Bless all of you.

Dear deVenoge family, I'm so sad to hear of your loss. I lost Pop last month and the hurt is right here. I've been remembering all the fun times and it seems to ease the pain. So Frank and Tom I'll remind you of this one: We were throwing snowballs at cars on the toll road, got chased by the police and ended up in your back yard. Your dad came out back and hollered "The cops have been here and I gave them all your names! You're all busted!" He had us all shaking in our boots. We went...

Dear Mrs. DeVenoge and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Growing up next to your family in McLean was always lots of fun. I have many great memories of Mr. DeVenoge, including the year we all drove down to Florida for Christmas. Now that was lots of fun. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Stephen Aldrich

Dear Mrs. DeVenoge and family: I am so sorry to hear about Mr. D. I hadn't seen him much in recent years, but I'll forever remember him fondly as someone to look up to and always a lot of fun. Please know that you all are in the thoughts and prayers of all the Donnellys. Take care, John M. Donnelly

Harry was the most competitive guy I ever knew. I met him on the handball court at the Elks in Queens in the late 60's where he was known by the nickname of "Diver Dan," which he got because he would never give up on a ball and would literally dive headfirst to return a shot. When we were going to move to the Washington area, a mutual friend at the Elks reminded me that Harry lived in McLean and suggested I look him up. That's how we wound up here.
He was a great guy on and off the court...

Dear Laura and family, John and
I are very sorry for your loss.
Harry was "quite a guy". We will
always treasure the memories we
have of our time in McLean with
all the deVenoge family especially
Harry. We wish we could be with all
of you at this time but we are there
in spirit. Lots of love and hugs,

Theresa and John Donnelly

To all the De Venoge's: I am so sorry for your loss. I have a million memories from my childhood of "Uncle Harry," and all of you. He was always there, in New York, in Virginia. I remember his smile, his kindness to me, and how he shared his family and home with all the the Schwartz's. I remember how close he was to my Dad and Mom. I remember what a hard worker he was, and how I thought that all Dads were like Harry and my Dad. What a shock it was when I started my carreer as a social...
