Dear Connie and family,Although I saw Harry infrequently over the past few years,every conversation and meeting carried forward the enthusiasm,creativity and wit of our last encounter. Harry`s breath of curiosity,his probing imagination and his zest for life made him a true Rennaissance man.I cannot be with you at the Sailfish Club,but be assured that my spirit will be there.So sorry that our last planned meeting was too late.In friendship,Joe.

We were sorry we never have meant Harry, but we are so very fond of his son Wayne and family. We hope that knowing we care and that we are thinking of you all, will help alittle. Barbara & Chuck DeRose
