Harry was a good friend, he was my workmate and the best neighbor anyone could ask for. He always had a smile and some friendly advice for everyone he met. All of us who knew Harry will miss him greatly. He has always been such a great influence on not just myself, but everyone who ever knew him. He was more than just a good friend he was a mentor of mine and to all that knew him. I will miss him greatly as all of us will that worked and lived by him. May God Bless you and all of your family.

Harry always put a smile on your face. He was a good friend and brother Mason. Hopefully there will be a Masonic Service on Tuesday with the Smiths Creek Lodge.
