Harry, So much to say about him. He gave everyone a nickname. When he was with his brothers, they were all unstoppable. We will miss his love of his family, friends, horses, football, beer =], and everything else he loved, and that smile, boy, when I saw him smile, I couldn't help but smile. I love you all.

Harry was always smiling and friendly. A man who loved life, his family and friends. We will miss him GREATLY at our football games. He was alot of fun to work with in the concession stands, always full of himself. We can surely count his departure our loss but Heavens gain. We look forward to seeing him again in glory.

Harry while working for Sheetz parked his thuck here at Exxon and I would talk with him about our horses. I always enjoyed talking with him and I was sad to see him leave but he did what he felt best for him and his family. I also felt bad when I heard of his sickness. He was a good friend and I will trutly miss him. Sincerely Gary L.Winans
