I am very sad to have now learned of Harry’s passing, so long after the event.
I wish I could have attended his memorial and I grieve with the family for the loss of such a kind man.
He was enormous help to me as I started in woodworking, donating his time to my teaching and asking nothing in return. And, of course, he was a master at his craft. He will be missed. Bless his family.

John, We are so sorry to read of your father's passing. He was quite a character--always with his cigar and dog! We have two pieces of furniture he made, so he will be a lasting memory in our home.

Mary and family, I am so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. My heart also aches for you that you are not able to grieve properly during this COVID-19 crisis. But know that you have a lot of hugs coming your way virtually. It sounds like your dad had quite an eventful life with his service years, cabinet making, and raising a family. I hope you have many wonderful memories to warm your heart.

I'm so sorry for the loss of Gene. He was a kind, hard-working man. I was with my grandmother at Gene and Ann's wedding, so I have lots of memories of your family and Miss Catherine. My condolences to his family, may he rest in peace.

I will really miss Harry and all his antics. Will also miss looking at cuckoo clocks on the computer with him. Libby ,you will never say to me"What did he do now?"And I will miss his smile. Sue Hash
