Dear Harry. What a gracious and generous man. In all the years I worked with Harry, he was always available for help, information and encouragement. Harry was so completely committed to our mission but even more so to his community of colleagues. Harry´s love for his family was evident to all who knew him. My deepest sympathies to Angela, his devoted wife for the last 20 years.

Rest in peace Harry. You served your country's Strategic Petroleum Reserve with your expertise and it was a pleasure working with you all those years. You and Angela were very supportive when I lost my husband. Thinking of you Angela and sending my deepest condolences and peace in the days ahead.
