Harry, you will be missed greatly. Every time I sit in my backyard and look up at the siding you fixed for me I will forever hear you saying choice words about the contractor who installed it. Say Hi to Francis, Harry and Shawn.

Harry I know you were met at the Pearly gates by Francis, Harry, and Shawn. You will be forever in our thoughts and every time I sit in my yard I will think of you redoing my siding and having a few choice words for the last contractor.:)

The house is too quiet without you. It was not suppose to be like this. I'm glad you are no longer suffering because I know how tired you were. You said you were sick and tired of being sick and tired. It just sucks!!! Trillus "Brown dog with white trim" Brown and Georgia Blue "Blackface" Johnson-Brown are SAD. They miss their Daddy. They have been laying on your bed and watching out the window for you. Me and Karla "your girls" and the D O G's don't like being in the house without you. I would love nothing more than to hear you holler my name or dial my phone 20x in a row just to say "bring me snack" . I miss and love you. Thanks for all of our good times. We did have fun and I will cherish them memories forever!!!! I love you!!

Harry was a friend of mine. We shared a lot of good times and laughs together when we were teenagers. Harry was fun to be with. My sympathy to his family.
