I've know Harry my whole life. In 1983 when I was 19 years old Harry helped me get my first and only job with the Federal Court's. He always knew where the best sales were and drink specials. Harry and Terry were my first adult friends and we had fun. He was the king of the babies and a great friend. I'm truly sad to learn of his passing. He will be missed by me and all who knew him. Karye and Harry, I've kept you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. My deepest sympathy to the entire...

Harry and I were childhood friends from about 10 years of age. We did so much together and we even married sisters and became brothers in law. We had virtually no contact for the last several years and I am deeply saddened to learn of his death.

Nothing I can say about Harry will do him justice. Harry was an amazing character and a great friend. I worked with him for 4 years at SPWWH and became friends with him on day 1. Harry and I along with Claire H. and others shared many adventures, tons of laughs, great times. There will never be another quite like him.
Love, Genevieve, one of “Harry’s Babies”

I worked with Harry at Stone Pigman as the other Court runner and we became close friends. I will miss Harry very much.
I lost touch with him and I have been trying to contact him for years to invite him to my wedding in 2012. My Condolences to his family
