I visited with Uncle Harry on the day Uncle Charlie was buried. I will long cherish a story Uncle Harry told me about my Dad. The three brothers are together again.

I am so sorry to read of Harry's passing.
My childhood memories are filled with great times with Harry and his family.
Hunting in Potter County, fishing at Fairview Lake, ice fishing at East Bangor Dam and all the gatherings between his family and mine.
His stories of his adventures in World War 2 inspired me to join the military.
I am thankful that I got to talk to him last year at Gracedale during a visit from our VFW post.

My deepest sympathies to Harry Jr, Cynthia and Candice...God Bless you all.
