Mr Sweely was my beloved 4th grade teacher at Rowland Lab School in Shippensburg in the 1960s. He was a great favorite of students. Later, I knew him and his wife as "Harry & Ginny" when I worked at Bosler Library in Carlisle in the 2010s. What a pleasure it was to encounter them again, and regularly! They were terrific library patrons.
Lastly, Harry stopped in to visit my mother at Green Ridge Village in 2024. He was mentally sharp and expressed curiosity about an event I planned to attend at the Cumberland Co. Historical Society. He was as warm and engaging as ever.
I can't tell you how sorry I am to learn of his passing. This is a great loss for so many reasons.
--My sincerest sympathies to Ginny and family
