To the Holloway Family-Our deepest sympathy to each of you at this difficult time. The Holloways were neighbors/friends on 698 and were and remain great folks. My family will never forget how nice you all were, Ms Edith, Barney and the kids. It is hard to understand these things but from what I have read and heard through the years, Harry was a great guy. We are sorry for your loss and will be praying for your family. God Bless you all- Amy Burk Miley, Steve Burk and Suzy Burk Long.

Bridget- You & your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Anytime Mike & Harry were at meetings together he always ask to speak to me on the phone if I called & they were together. He always seemed to be happy and family centered. I hope that you all can find peace in your time of loss.

Baker is a customer, but I don't think you ever just stayed a customer of Harry's for very long. You soon became friends. He loved to update me on his son Cody, and his accomplishments at school and rodeo. We also loved to exchange stories on our vastly different weather, tree damage, rain fall, winds, etc.. Of course we also got to know Bridget when she went to work at the Trawick plant. Everyone at the office was saddened and impacted to hear of Harry's passing, it still seems impossible. Our heart felt sympathies to the family, God bless you and lighten the burden and sorrow of his passing. Additionally I know his coworkers will miss him greatly. Our thoughts and prayers from the Reliant family go out to you all. (Steve Miller, Lincoln Ne)

Harry, I will dearly miss not talking to you on a regular basis. When it came to business, you were always upbeat, positive and ready to do whatever was necessary to resolve any problem. You were steady, dependable and rock solid. You were a valued business associate, but more importantly you were a close friend.

Harry, you provided a great example for any man to follow. You worked hard and were relentlessly devoted to Bridget, Chrissy and Cody. The shock of your death has left me numb. I know that as time passes, so will the grief I am feeling. The grief will be replaced with memories of all the good times we shared. Having you as a friend has been a privilege and an honor I will never forget.

HJ Baker is a customer of ours and I had some lengthy phone conversations with Harry over the past few years. His dedication to and love for his family was always on display. One of the most genuine people I have ever known. I am blessed to have known him. Your family is in my prayers.

Harry (I also called him 3Pete) was as sweat as the they come. He never failed to greet me, give a heartfelt hug and ask about Jane. I will also remember him with the utmost of respect plus a bit of a mischievous eye twinkle. Rest in peace & hope the fishing is splendid in heaven!

Iam an adopted member of the family ,I have know Harry along time as my son would say "He was a cool guy" he and his sister are the reason Iam deathly afraid of SPiders When we would be in the feed room they would throw the Grandaddylong legs at me. I don't do spiders. May God give the family peace and comfort. He was a wonderful person. God take care of him.

Harry, a co-worker, a real cowboy, a gentleman, and a true friend will be greatly missed by all who knew or had contact with him. Over the past ten years that I have known Harry we had countless discussions about business, livestock, and rodeo. Harry's pride and love for his family was ever present, from words to the twinkle in his eyes. I am confident that all who knew Harry will forever remember his wit and sincereness. Harry ol friend, we will miss you. Our thoughts and prayers go to the entire family. Ed Gilman

To the Holloway family, I remember spending many a night with Harry when were young boys,running all over the farm,feeding cows cleaning the Dairy barn after Barney got through milking and hunting birds with our pellet guns as soon as we got through with the chores on the farm. I will always remember those memories of a life so different than the fast pace one we live today.I will also remember our friendship and Harry's smile he always had when I would see him around town in our later years as adults. Sincerely,Jeff Harrell

I have many fond memories of Harry growing up. The good times we had tramping all over his Dad's land at night hunting who knows what. Harry was like a little brother to me.

Harry was our Super Hero, and our friend.
We are all better people because of knowing him. I will keep his voice in my memory for ever more. Sincerly, Melissa Epperson

To the family of Harry, our best friend, our buddy, we loved him so much and we will miss him dearly. I wouldn't take anything for the time that we got to spend with him when he was at the Albertville plant during the week of September.16TH. We got to talk about different things that have come to pass over the last twenty years. He was one of the greatest friends to my family. We are so sorry for your loss. I know that there is a big void in your life right now, but I know he loved his family. God Bless you all. Mark & Bonnie Pointer & T.J. Lawson Albertville H.J. Baker.

To Harry's Family: I'm so sorry for your loss and send prayers, love and light from Kentucky. Harry impacted me greater than you know as a new employee with H.J. Baker. I loved calling him and hearing, 'hey gal' on the other end. He told me I was tough and I appreciated his praise. He shared stories about each of you over breakfast before meetings and would brighten the room whenever he entered. He loved each of you so dearly. He was loved by all. Losing my dad suddenly last year was one of the most difficult things I've been through, but find strength in knowing he is more a part of you and your lives now than he ever could have been while he was physically here. If you ever want to chat or cry or cuss, please don't hesistate to give me a call. I'm here and thinking of you now.
