Rob was a kind, generous, loving and completely changed my life. You mother had such an impact on both of our futures. Several times I wanted to reach out and knew it wasn´t possible. I wanted to share with him, the way my life turned out and see how his life was. Thank you to all who made his life what is was and shaped who he was. He will remain a big part of my life and I will always be great full that we had the time that we did, and he did the right thing by me. Thank you and your mom for being in my life.

I served with Harry in the Marines. He was a good man, and will be sorely missed. We always wanted to plan a unit reunion, but never got around to it. Some of us still plan to put something together, and when we do, I’m certain we will all reflect upon the good times shared with Harry. Our prayers and thoughts are with his family. Especially that daughter and grandson he cherished so very much. May God bless you all. Harry is now standing post on the streets of heaven. The last verse of the Marine Corps Hymn says, “If the Army and the Navy ever look on heaven’s scenes, they would find the streets are guarded by United States Marines”.
Enjoy your final post Devil Dog. Godspeed.
Semper Fi!

Dear Sweet Harry,
You added soooo soooo much to our lives, not just ours, but to so many. You always had something sweet, kind and loving to say or you said nothing at all. You didn't speak ill of anyone or judge, you just loved. You thanked God for every day you were given and you treated your family that are friends, and friends that are family, so very good, they have always meant he world to you. Countless days and endless ways - you put a smile on our faces. We are so blessed and lucky to have called you our dear friend. You always gave more than you ever received. We will miss you everyday- your sweet messages and always trying to give us food!! Always feeding us cheesecake, always loving us. We are glad you knew how much we loved you and we never once doubted your genuine and altruistic love for us. Until we meet again sweet friend...you are forever in our hearts. You are forever our hero and our favorite marine. Love you soooo very much big brother xxxoo
With all our love- your little sis, and brother - thank you for the joy you brought us and the difference you made in our lives all these years.
