Not sure what to say?

Harry was the rector at All Saints (with a cast of invisibles as his associates). He shepherded me through confirmation as a former southern baptist and reformed christian. His patience and grace allowed this retched soul to embrace the church again. He was there for me and my partner at the time. He begrudgingly allowed an evensong to start and was thrilled with its success. Harry was such an amazing man, friend, and Rector- propped up by the amazing Allison. My prayers are with his family.

I am most grateful that Harry served as the chair of my discernment committee for Holy Orders at The Cathedral of St. Philip. I would not be a priest were it not for the manner in which he structured and lead this group.  Give rest, O Christ, to thy servant, Harry, with all thy Saints: where sorrow and pain are no more; neither sighing, but life everlasting. Amen. The Rev. Michael D Moore Jacksonville, FL

Harry was like family to me. I have wonderful memories of growing up with Allison and him in Tuscaloosa. Sending heartfelt condolences and warm remembrances to the family.

I have such fond memories of Harry and his wife. He kept it real. We would get to see him and enjoy his sermons at Saint Philips on various occasions. What a blessing he was to everyone.

As our curate at St. Luke's, Harry's joy in Christ was so important to me and my junior high aged youth group. He was loving, funny, and gave us all a sense of truly belonging to the family of God the Father. He changed us all , infinitely.

I knew and loved Harry at Camp McDowell in the 1960s. My maiden name is Pritchard, and he left messages for me at Birmingham Southern College when he wanted me to be a counselor at Camp McDowell. This was a time when the only phone in the dorm was down the hall, and I got several notes that my dad called. My dad would say no, he didn´t call me. I finally hooked up with Harry and had a very meaningful week as a counselor on his staff. I´m sorry I never talked to him again. Kirksey Pritchard...

There will always be just "one" Harry Pritchett. Peace and healing to his family and those of us blessed to be one of Harry's parishioners at All Saints.
