To the Bomhold family..I am so sorry for your loss..Grandpa Harry was a GREAT man..I was very proud of being apart of his life...
RIP Harry...You were always such a cheerful person that was a big part of my life from the time I was little. I remember seeing you and Mary out working in your yard when I was at my Aunt's across the street and then as I got older I got to know you better through Joe and Big John.. You were like a Grandpa to my daughter... I will never forget you..
