Jean, we were so sorry to hear about Harry's passing, you have our deepest condolences. Harry was a very nice man, whenever he would pass by the apartment we lived in (yours) he would always blow the horn and wave to us, I remember the time when Joe locked himself out and Harry brought him the key to get into our apartment, he was laughing at Joe. Rest peacefully friend, you will be missed by all who knew you. God now has one more Angel.

DEAR JEAN TIMMY AND TAMMY VERY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.HARRY WILL MISSED BY ALL.

Harry was always there for me when I needed him. Not only the simpler things like a flat tire when I was 16. Or a dead battery two years ago, with my in-laws in the car, on a blazing August afternoon... but the truly serious problems like in the middle of the night, when my Dad died suddenly and Ravi and I were so upset and shocked, we didn't know what to do. I called Harry and he was there within minutes. He stood with us and said, "We'll call your Pastor and we'll call Brubaker..." and Harry just took over for us. I will never forget him. My sincere thoughts and prayers and love to Jean, Tammi and Timmy on the loss of Harry. I will always be here for you guys if you ever need anything.

The Buss Family will sure miss Harry's colorful stories being told on our front porch, while poor Jean's ice cream was melting in his truck. I remember Harry sitting in the field behind Sheckler, 12 years old, flying model airplanes. My love goes out to Jean and the whole family.
