Not sure what to say?

I had admiration for Mr. Obedin, my neighbour. Capable, personal power under control, friendly & always smiling, interesting, masculine, positive spirit, professional, strong speaker, advisor-type, involved, a man of gusto! Certainly talented and unforgettable. Made abeautiful daughter & son w/Neale! I look forward to life everlasting seeing him captivate us all again then. My sincere condolences for your loss, Shannon McIntyre

A one-of-a-kind guy. Our lives were enriched beyond measure by having known him and the world was definitely a better place because of him. We love you Neale and our love and sincere condolences for your loss of such a beautiful spirit.

During Harry's tour at Coast Guard Headquarters I noticed he went beyond his assigned duties by submitting several items to the BENEFICIAL SUGESTION program. Some of the items were adopted and improved Headquarters functions.

I fondly remember Harry, Neale, David, and Cheryl from my time serving in the USPHS. I am sorry for their loss. I was, nevertheless, happy to have read of Harry's long and full life. he left the world a better place for his having been it it.

I think I met Harry only once (at Costco with Neale) but heard about him for years from my mother, Jeanne Whipple, who worked at the Bank of California where he apparently banked. She said he was the most handsome man she'd ever seen when he'd come in wearing his Coast Guard uniform! Thank you for the wonderfully written testimony to his life and creativity. My condolences to Neale.

Fond memories of Harry as a soccer dad.
We had lots of fun with he and David.

Neale, Cheryl, and David - May his memory be for a blessing.
