I cannot believe it has been 4 years since we all lost Harry Lane. He was my neighbor and dear, dear friend. He was always happy and smiling. He was a truly nice person and I know that while I miss deeply, he is a bright star in heaven and he has a perfect body. I still wish all his family and all who knew him my deepest sympathies.

Harry - my family first met you through a local organization the McLean Co Nuggettiers and you were an instant friend. You seem to relish all people and never made judgements but accepted all. I remember my family hired you for some work around their home and you were gracious with all the challenges. We lost touch with you and your family and I / we are saddened by you leaving us and your world behind but we are forever grateful for knowing you and your families. God bless you Harry and many blessed days in heaven. Your friend.
