Not sure what to say?

Larger than life Harry was the ultimate Naval Special Forces and EOD Operator and Stunt coordinator. Rest in peace will just not work for him, he is no doubt charging up mountains and pushing all of the limits, God... I am sure holds him in a special place.

I trined Harry in 1977 at Miramar on radios and worked out with him at the Miramar gym.

I wish I had the opportunity to attend this celebration of life, albeit much too late. But it´s worth mentioning that Harry taught me square parachute transition in the Navy at Dillingham Hawaii. He was a great guy and although I knew them very briefly, he was a consummate, professional RIP brother.

Harry was GREAT I trained him at NAS Miramar in 1977 on walkie-talkie radios. We lifted weights together at Miramar also.

Wow,so sorry to hear about this. Harry was a one of a kind person and a wonderful man.

I remember Harry following me around alot - I know he had a crush on me but I was just a friend. He was such a nice person and when he moved away he would travel back to see my parents and let them know what was happening in his life. He sure did have a full one - it is such a shame something like this has to happen. I lived down the street from him and his family on Elmdale in Detroit. I know he will be terribly missed, although I have not seen him in over 25 years (since graduation), but...

I remember Harry from when I was a kid. He lived a few houses down from me in Detroit. I remember before he went in the Navy, he gave me a diving watch. Sadly, I'm not sure what ever happened to it? He really was a great guy, not much more needs to be said.
