After all these years I still wish I had that last CD that Chief was working on: He told us it was going to be Bluegrass. Stationed in Savannah with the military and bringing all who would come to hear him, Chief regaled us night after endless night with his expertise, his love for music, and a great sense of humor to keep us coming back for more. He often mentioned his children, and like most of us military folks that is what we are all about. We left him with T-shirts, banners, and emblems of our branches of service and he provided us with memories of a lifetime. Returning from overseas deployments where there was no resemblance to USA, Chief would play for us and bring us back to our sense of pride and love for this country, our musicians, and the people who inhabit it. Thanks Chief for a lifetime of expression. For the one CD I did manage to procure "Acoustically Speaking" it speaks to me. Grace and Peace in that band you lead in Glory forever! I will see you again, brother, and listen to your strength in lyric, strings, and voice. MSGT Carol J. Simpson US Air Force (Retired)

I just found this guest book - and yes Cheif - I know, I know
"Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene. He's got a day time job he's doing all right"
I am so, so, sorry I didn't get to see you play just one more time. You were, and will always be the finest picker that ever shared my blues. Thank you for sharing your life and talent with me. So many memories of sitting with you till close, singing at the top of my lungs down at the Bayou and then off to breakfast. I'm certain that without your friendship I would have crashed and burned back then. I see in reading what others have said here that I am not alone in this. God bless you, man. Keep on smilin. I do. Every time I remember you.
Thanks for the memories. I will see you again someday.
PS - You were right. They did grow up to be beautiful young ladies.

I used to work at the Bayou Cafe. I was the bartender upstairs. You knew when Chief started his set. His voice would carry up the stairs and suround you like a blanket. An amazing voice from an amazing person. You will be missed by everyone who knew you, Chief.

I'll always remember how Chief would sing "Keep On Smilin'" and "Brandy" for me anytime I asked. He was a great musician and entertainer. He surely will be missed in Savannah! My deepest condolences to his children and loved ones!

I knew Dennis since we were 14 years old, we grew up together on the east side, and I failed to realize the depth of our friendship- but Dennis was always there and I hope that I was half as much of a friend to him as he was to me. I will always carry a deep and profound love in my being for him, and my life has been truely blessed in knowing that we were friends. In being around him there was always a joy and a willingness to share a funny story or a view from a different perspective.
Thank you "Cheif" for being in my life and making the world a better place.

Hey Chief; I'll bet that when you arrived at those pearly gates in heaven and St. Peter asked you to play "Brown Eyed Girl" I will be willing to bet that you charged him twenty five dollars the same as you charged at the Bayou. Ya know . A musician with an attitude like you only deserves the best. rest easy my dear friend. Tell Howard I said hello. And hey Chief, give 'em hell in heaven.

Chief,
A little over 30 years ago, Berry Johnson and Tommy Dean introduced me to you. Since then we have had many, many conversations. From music, politics, to family... Politics I know not to talk very much about to you. However, conversations from the heart were my best times. When I was down, when I was up, You were there. I hope that you can say the same for me. I remember our conversation days before you left us, about how precious life really is, and how important it is to express your feeling for the ones you care for. I will miss our conversations, I will miss every Sunday's Falcon discussions, but most of all I will miss you.
Love your brother,
Dave "The Rave" Shephard

Like hundred/even thousands of people who were fortunate enough to meet "Chief" and hear him sing, he truly was Savannah local and excellent musician. No matter who you were, he always made people feel special whenever I saw him at the Bayou Cafe. My prayers and blessings go out to his entire family and friends. With utmost sincerity, Sue Kempf

My sister-in-law is from Savannah and when she & my brother retired 12 years ago they moved back to Savannah. I have been visiting them ever since.
The 1st place they took me to visit in Savannah was the Bayou Cafe on River Street to see Chief play.
I visit Savannah twice a year and always made time to see Chief play as many times as I could on each visit.
He was a staple in my musical diet.
When my sister-in law called today to let me know that he had passed away a sadness swept over me. I feel like I have lost a close friend.
His musicianship, sparkling personality & the joy he brought to thousands of people in the Savannah area over the years will be sadly missed.
My condolences and prayers go out to his family & friends.
May you Rest in Peace in Musician's Heaven

As it turns out, I've been friends with Chief for 1/3 of my life, ever since I moved to Savannah. First time I saw him, Pat Lassiter brought him to the Cavalier where I was playing, in 1993, and he got up to sing with our band. He asked if we knew Ol' 55 by the Eagles. I knew it, so I said "hit it." As we were going through it, I was singing all the high harmonies and playing the steel guitar riffs on my Tele, and he kept looking at me, it was that musical recognition. As the years passed, I finally convinced him to come to my recording studio and that's when our friendship really gelled. We recorded over 30 of his songs, and only about 12 of them have been heard by anybody, so that's my task now, to get the songs into shape for him, we'd been talking about them lately, anyway. Chief is a great loss to music, and a great loss to friendship in this town, and beyond. I will miss the death-defying laughter we shared every time we talked. I'm glad he's not suffering any more, but I wish he was still here. Don Coyer

Chief, I have known you my whole life. I remember when you lived next to Pam we always had a free concert listening to you practice. You were such a great spirited person and always a kind word. I can't believe you are gone.. I will miss being called Little Carter until we meet again.. Heaven has received a truly talented and loved angel.
Sabrina, I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers..
Love,

We stumbled into the Bayou just last year following the music. Met Chief that night who sang our requests and immensely entertained us. We were looking forward to a repeat performance again this year, but we were too late. That one night is now a very special memory for us. I am sure he was loved by all he entertained, and he definitely was a very special person.

I just can't believe you are gone. I spent so much time with you during my 5 years in Savannah and while working at the Bayou. You were one of the most loyal friends I've ever had. We had such great times, talking about Neil Young, The Beatles, Pearl Jam! You were so very kind to me and someone I could trust. Thanks for all your long talks and encouragement, as well as all the fun little trips we had together while I lived there. The love you had for your two children never ceased to amaze me. My prayers are with your family. I love you Buddy! I'll see u later, count on it! Love u!

Long before the Bayou, Chief used to sit in with the Robert Brant Band at Cleve's. It's been a pleasure over the last 25 years to be able to watch him go from someone that was scared to death to get on stage to one of the best entertainers in Savannah.I've spent many a night enjoying him giving the crowd hell and playing some really fine music. You will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with your family and friends.

My deepest sympathy to the family. Chief was a wonderful man, There was never a dull moment when he walked in the door. I am really gonna miss him as well as his music, There was never a request I put in that he wouldn't play

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

My dear friend, you have taken a piece of my heart with you. We go back many, many years. I will never forget our true friendship. You are truly one in a million. I love you and will never forget you. There will never be a very special friend like you....you would drop everything if I needed your kind heart and soft shoulder, always assuring me everything would be okay. I know at those pearly gates, your mother, father, my mother, Baine, Gail, and our Heavenly Father welcomed you with open arms......til we meet again, my dear friend........

I enjoyed arguing (and occasionally agreeing) with Chief about rock music whenever I'd see him... usually in a bar. He could be a tad cranky at times, but he was also quite generous. One day at lunchtime I bumped into him at Larry's Restaurant. He left before I did, and when I'd finished eating and went to the cashier to pay my bill, I was told Chief had already taken care of it. Whatta guy!

She passed in 96 and I know she is waiting for you with open arms and ready for you to sing her some blues that she loved. You will always be in my thoughts and prayers. The Bayou will never be the same again when I go there.
Love you and will miss you dearly.

Chief, you were one of my closest friends during my years in Savannah. Regardless of what you were doing, you always had time for me and my goofy problems when I lived there...You were such a true friend. Anytime i think of Savannah, I always think of you. I remember when you used to play "American Girl" for me as soon as you would see me walk into the Bayou Cafe because you thought it was funny that I could fake a South American accent and convince people i was from somewhere else!!! You always made me smile! You made my time working at the Bayou such a fun time! You are truly and deeply missed my friend..... Much love..Missy Shelton

We lost another one of the good guys with the passing of Chief. Always a friendly word when you entered where he was playing or if he saw you on the street. A great musician / singer with more songs the offer than most. We will miss you my friend. Thanks to his family for sharing him with us for these many years he will be in our hearts for ever.But it's good to know we have another voice in the choir of angels singing and playing in heaven. God speed my friend.
