I found out today that Harry is gone. He was a favorite customer of mine at Horrocks years ago. He shared so much optimism and good humor; I always looked forward to his visits. I'm sorry to hear of your loss. He was a wonderful person.

I remember picking walnuts with Mr. Barber and Kelly and shucking them by spreading them on the concrete pad in the driveway and driving over them in the old Jeep. One of the neatest Dads ever.

Harry will be so missed by all who knew him! His family, especially his grandchildren, meant the world to him! He would do anything for them and demonstrated that time and time again! He was one of the most talented and hardest workers I have ever known. Go rest high on that mountain, Harry!

Harry and my dad, Bud Pontius, worked together as partners from 1958 to 1967. I got to work with them in 66. Harry was fun to work with and I have wonderful memories of him from the 60s and the J&K years. I seen him on and off over the years, he always had a new dad story to tell me, I loved it. I'm very sorry for his family, I can tell you I will never forget him and I will always miss him.
