To Jan and Family:
We want to tell you what a pleasure and a joy it was to know Harry as a friend. Everything he did was with enthusasim and he tried it all with a great sense of humor and a smile always on his face. He was the only man in the baking group who came faithfully. he knew all the words to YES WE HAVE NO BANANAS! to the amusement of the staff. He was also a very proud father. We will miss him very much.
Love,

To Harry's family, we are friends of Sam Marcus, your dad's roommate at Woodbriar and have always enjoyed spending time talking to Harry and teasing him about having to put up with Sam, who misses your dad greatly. Sam said he will always remember Harry and will never have another roommate like him. We always enjoyed hearing Harry recite his poetry and show us the latest gadgets his daughters would bring him. We are sincerely sorry to hear of your loss and know that you had a wonderful father who was very proud of his daughters.

To Harry's family
I only knew Harry for a short few years, but am fortunate to spend a little time with him. He tod me many stories of his family, of who he was very proud. I also was priviledged to hear his daughter play the organ. He enjoyed making me work setting up the pins he'd knock down. Our prayers are with you during this difficult time, but remember how blessed we all were to have as a friend Harry.

To the family of Harry,
I wish to extend my sympathy to you and your family over the loss of Harry.
I well remember Aunt Edna and Uncle Joe speaking so fondly of her brother, Harry. He was always so peppy and loved chatting with people and enjoying the music of the organ which his daughter, Janice, played for him for entertainment.
The many visits from his daughter Cheryl and Janice certainly boosted his moral. Harry will surely be missed by all.
