I remember Richard as somebody who used to crack me up all the time in grade school. I was so thrilled to see him and Carlos Torres at the last reunion It was good to talk to him and there were still lots of laughs.

To Shirley, Leah, Khaley and family, as you know I have known Harry for ever, atleast it seems like forever since our School days... he has always been in my heart, through thick and thin. I will miss him dearly. There are so many memories that have made me laugh or cry over the years but most of all I am proud to have called him my friend.
He was a great friend and confident. We talked many many times in length about religion, health, family. He was a very faithful, kind sole, a bit stubburn and a bit wild.. I never saw him happier than when he met Shirley, had his little girl Khaley and big sister Leah.. I remember the early days every Saturday Harry would come by with the girls, he was so excited as he watched her grow..I'll never forget what you gave him and I want to thank you for all your love and support through out the years.. Keep your memories close and know that he is resting in peace, no more pain! Please remember if you need anything at all.. You can count on me.. I love you all.. Sandy xoxoxoxoxo
