To my Kowadla family and Vince , I only met Harry a few times but he always made me feel welcome and he always had a smile on his face . I see alot of your Father in both of you Craig and Heather . Can't leave your Mom out of this . Donna Marie , if it weren't for you and your love for Harry your two wouldn't have the wonderful Dad that they have . And now for you Vince , any time you need a hair cut call me . By the way , do you have a brother for my daughter Jen if Craig doesn't want me for a mother-in -law ??? Just want to make you all smile . I also didn't know this was in the paper . Take care and it was a beautiful Memorial Mass for Harry . Love , Kathy Jacuk xoxo

I am so honored that I was able to spend time with your Dad and only wish that I knew him better. His legacy lives on through all of you. Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you and may you continue to feel the love and support of family and friends. I love you all. Alex

The good times with Harry, my first employer - who hired me when still in highschool to help renovate a house near downtown Syracuse. I think it was the first house and it may have been the last, but we laughed alot as we tryed to bend drywall, cover years of neglect (the things we found !!), and all the time learning how we'd do it differently the next time --
Living across the street from the Kowadla's were some of the best of times --- I'll remember Harry very fondly and send my love to Donna Marie, Heather, and Craig.
