Harry was a wonderful man. Thanks to him we are living in a home that he had listed when he was a realtor. Then we learned he and his wife were neighbors. He was such a kind person and Betty Lou, although we didn't really know you, my husband and I are sorry for your loss.
With our deepest sorrows,
Mr. & Mrs. Trigg

I met Harry when I went to work with Cougill and Hanson Realtors. We were a tight group and enjoyed being around each other. On special tours up the Mckenzie we had to stop for pie and ice cream. He loved it! I remember riding in his French car
he was proud of. I learned from Harry to eat your salad last in a meal.. Harry was a true gentleman. I know he had a great life and loved his country, family and his hunting dog!. He will be missed.I hope you are doing well Betty Lou.

My wife Ann and I met Harry when we joined The Military Officers Association of America chapter in Eugene in 1993 and we met regularly at those functions. He made us feel welcome and we enjoyed sharing time with a fellow officer. It was a pleasure to know him and he is missed.

As a friend of Harry's for at least 42 years. What a character! My children have known Harry and Betty Lou and we even took a vacation to their lovely home. Harry would come to San Diego now and then and always come to visit or go out for dinner. I'll miss Harry and his stories. Betty Lou I'm sorry for your loss, what a wonderful husband and friend for you.

Harry was an extrodinarily competent Naval Aviator who shared his skills with both students and fellow instructors at NAS Beeville TX in the late 1950's. He was a wonderful cook, had a great sense of humor and was a superb mentor both on and off Base. I am proud to have been his shipmate and am a better person (and aviator) because of him. May God bless his family. RIP
