Dear Carolyn & Family- i was deeply saddened to hear about Harry's passing. He was one of the finest men i have ever met. He was a good looking, well dressed individual and one of the smartest people i have ever met. I do feel guilty for not stopping by more to see him. I guess i had a hard time seeing him struggle and that was not the Harry i knew and loved. I am also sorry that i am in San Francisco and can not attend his services. My heart goes out to you and his family. Know that i am with you in your time of great loss. If i can help, let me know. May God continue to Bless You!!

Dear Harry and Barbara,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your families today. I have such wonderful memories of your parents. They were a great support to my Mom, Chuck and I when my dad passed. I truly believe that he is in a far better place now.

Dear Carolyn & Family,
We were very saddened to hear of Harry's passing. You are our dear friends. We were blessed to meet you at the Pitt-OSU Football game many years ago and we have been the best of friends ever since. We have shared so many good times together and we hve also shared our concerns about each other during difficult times. We will not be able to be with you this Friday in person, but we will have you in our thoughts and prayers.
May the Memory of Harry Be Eternal.
With heartfelt sympathy,
Jim and Vera

Carolyn & Family,
I am deeply sorry for your loss. Harry was such a good man. I'll never forget the first day I met him when I started at Paramount. He could always bring a smile to our faces when we were having bad days. He was a strong guy. I remember sitting with him and watching football games. He will definitely be missed by all. He was a special guy and will always be remembered. You all are in my prayers.
