Harry lived where I work and was a very nice man who passed my desk to and from meals as well as sometimes going out with family and friends. He was a gentleman with a pleasant personality and will miss seeing him. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

My condolences to the Miller and Morrison families. Harry was a wonderful man and someone I will never forget. Living next door to Harry was like living next to "Santa Claus". He always had that "twinkle" in his eyes and a perpetual smile that could light up the world!
He was a man that was as lovable as he will be missed.
Thoughts, prayers and hugs for all.
