Not sure what to say?

We are very saddened by the loss of Harry.He always had a wonderful story to share with us and was truly a great man. We will miss him!

Great Uncle Harry was the last of my grandmother's (Kate Huffstutler) remarkable generation and was an equally remarkable man. My thoughts and prayers are with all the Weicherts.

Uncle Harry was one of a kind. We always had great fun when he was present. He served his Country well and was our family HERO from WWII. We will see him again.

Our family was just in Elgin to celebrate the homegoing of Harry's niece, Helen Huffstutler Ferreira. I am sorry we cannot send our condolensces in person. Uncle Harry will alway hold a special...
