So many wonderful memories of Bill and Karma, the sweetest couple ever! They were such gracious hosts to us during our college years with Rich and well after. Always loved visiting the "Harmon Ranch." Bill's dedication to his wife during the many years of her illness was absolutely the most selfless and amazing gift of love I have ever witnessed. Bill is truly an inspiration and will be dearly missed.

To the Harmon family, you have my sincere condolences. When someone falls asleep in death (Ecclesiastes 9: 5,10) the memories we have of them become our most precious treasure. May those memories comfort you as well as Gods promise at John 6:40.

Bill was a one of a kind man! Always generous of time, stories and food. His love of family and friends his service and country always awed me and my family. I feel blessed to have shared many laughs and beers with him over the years, honest to God as Bill would end many a story. Praying you will rest well close by to Karma and pray for us all as we make our way. Love and prayers for you and all of the family! Will fondly wear the Dolphins you gave to both Bob and I, your second favorite nurses only to Karma. You will be missed! Love you Pop Pop Bill.

Bill was a wonderful friend and Legion member. Both he and his friend Bob Whyte were full of stories and wonderful experiences. He will be missed. The good thing of all this, is that both he and Karma are 'together', again.

Mr. Harmon , I didn't call you Bill until very recently, I mourn your death but I know you are with Karma Faye now. I have wonderful memories of you throughout my lifetime, especially when Rich and I were young - most of those being in your kitchen or out in the backyard playing croquet. I love you and your family! Rest In Peace.

Bill will always hold a special place in many hearts, including mine. He never forgot a birthday or failed to respond to a letter. His many visits to our house over the years to see his cousins (Santillis) when we were young always brought smiles & laughter! After reading about Bill's career, the word, "honorable" describes him and his life. Much love and sorrow for the loss of a truly good man. May he rest in peace. ❤
