I have known Harry for many years. He has worked on jobs that I have supervised many times. He was a "quality" person and a joy to be around. He will be missed by all of us that have known him. It has been a pleasure knowing you, Harry.

I am so sorry to hear of Harry's passing. Sissy, Oscar and the rest of the family will be in my prayers. I've known Harry since as far back as I can remember. His Uncle Pete was our neighbor, we rode the school bus together and our families even hung out and fished together on the Big Cypress River. He will be greatly missed by those that knew and loved him.

To Harry's Family,
Harry worked on jobs for me at Good Shepherd Medical Center for years. He will be missed. He always honked and waved at us when he drove by. He was a good worker and had a great attitude.
