Dan & Melissa
I was honored to have had the pleasure of knowing this dear soul. Harry was the kindest, most pleasant little gentleman I have ever met. Dan, you and Melissa took such wonderful care of Harry, and he loved you both so much, Sam included. I loved him and enjoyed every moment I spent with him. He will be missed by all that had the pleasure of knowing him. Thanks for sharing your dad.
Love always,

Dear Gerry, Dan, Jeanine and the rest of the family,
So sorry to hear about Uncle Harry's passing. I have pleasant memories of him as a gentle-man and good hearted soul! I know he has probably "joined the card game" up above with my Dad, Uncle Walt, and others...
We wish all of you our sincere and heartfelt condolences and please know we will hold you in our prayers.
Sincerely
Dr. and Mrs. Barry T. Lease

Dear Jerry, Danny and Jeanine,
You and your families are in my thoughts and prayers. Losing Uncle Harry feels like the end of an era for me as Lease and I'll remember him fondly. He was always such a soothing presence. God bless 92 years of a life well lived. My deepest sympathy. Bernadette

TO: Gerald Diesel & your Family,
I feel sorrow upon reading the news that your Dad has passed. I shared a lot of St Sebastian space and time; and, many an anti-nun shenanigan with Gerald Diesel; I think (almost-imagine), because St Seb was 50+ (!!!) years ago).
I didn't get to know the Harry F. Diesel Family; but, I distinctly remember Gerald T. Diesel as being stoically steadfast (& handsome), very smart-thinking and disciplined-in-action; AND, one of the few good Catholic boys who was entrusted with delivering the class's collection of nickels-for-chocolate-milk money down to the cafeteria; and, completely capably of carting the crate of chocolate milk cartons back to the classroom in time for 'chocolate-milk break' without missing a beat (along with James or Thomas Roos or William Napoli or Robert Medvitz or James Nash or Mark Weiser or Kenneth Sewald or Dennis McDunn or Paul Olshenski or Paul Lorincy or Neil Marchese or David Simcoke). (Did I leave out anybody?)
I wish all of you well, and I wish it wasn't what it is...
Love to all of you with warm memories,
Lorraine (Sweeney) Wheeler
