The 50th reunion was really empty. I think of Harry often and I remember his big belled silver trombone -- the envy of the trombone section. Douglas Munyon

Thank you, Doug. Your words mean a lot. We lost Harry too soon, yet we had him longer than doctors expected. Life will never be the same without him. His smile could light up a room and I will miss him forever.....his Sister, Sandy

I was in band with Harry. I loved him like a brother. Got reacquainted at the 45th high school reunion. It will be different this year without Harry. What a fun-loving, easy going guy. My condolences to the family. Douglas
