Not sure what to say?

My deep condolences to all Harry's family. After I arrived to Dover from Spain in 2000 I found in Harry one of my first and good friends. We shared many hours playing chess and even some tennis games! His stories were always fun to listen to and I will always have good memories of the time spent with him.
God bless,

My brother and I delivered the newspaper to Harry for many years. Whenever we would go collecting, we undoubtedly would end up being at Harry's house for at least a half an hour. His range of knowledge and personal stories he had to tell no doubt would have kept us there longer if we had had the time. While I didn't know a lot about him or know him much personally, he was one of the few customers that I still thought of from time to time. It made me sad to see that he had passed away. My...

I have many Harry stories, but shall only relate one. When my father died, Harry gave him as good a compliment as he could. "Your Dad, he thought out of the box"
If more people Listened to Harry, instead of hearing Harry, this town would be a better place to live

To Carol: I am sorry to hear about the loss of your dad. My sister called and let me know. My thoughts are with you. I know what it is like to lose a father, we are orphans even at our old age. After time, the happy memories replace the sorrow.

Carol, John, and Marc, there are words, only words. Harry was a great best friend. We could and did talk about anything and everything over the years. Yes, he promoted Liberty always, and convinced me to believe in it early on in my life, despite heated emotional conversations and my once very differing thoughts. I can't over-state his influence on my thinking. And he appreciated SO much from our world. He'd whip books off the shelf and read aloud from countless thousands of passages...

Carol, I am so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. May God comfort your family at this sad time.

I wish I would have known Harry better. I do know my mother, Kristine Carpenter (Retzler), loved him very much and I am sure they are having one interesting conversation at the moment. I will always remember Harry playing tennis at the park and how my grandmother wanted him to teach me to play, but I wanted nothing to do with it. He will be greatly missed!

Jon and Marc,my dad would like to express is smpathy in the passing of your father, he enjoyed his friendship, and felt he should have been the manager of Rigid Tool.
