Harry was a good friend, a mentor, and an associate. From my earlier yrs as a Lightning sailor, my Dad subscribed to Harry's articles on sailing, and his amazing record. In the early 80's, as a recruiter and manager for New York Life, I was totally shocked when Harry showed up at my office in Richmond, inquiring about employment opportunities.

Our sympathy goes out to the whole Sindle family. Harry was quite a man! I spent countless hours sailing the bay in his small "blue crab" sailboat and his "Gloucester 19" (bought in Ware Neck)...I even bought a "Gloucester 16" (power boat)...all great designs!! Wow , what a sailing legacy. You were awesome Harry! Brad...I'll see you out on the water and, you and Ashley keep on playing that music! It really is food for the soul!

I offer my condolences to Janet and the Sindle family for their loss. I met Harry and Janet back in the '60s when I began sailing an FD. They became good friends through our sailing adventures, particularly on the York and Ware Rivers. They were always a gracious and fun couple. Very supportive of all of the Yacht Haven and then later, the Ware River Yacht Club communities. What fond memories I have of friendships and adventures that began over 50 years ago.
