To Harry's family......I've never forgotten Harry; we went to junior high school and high school together in Providence and had several classes together. He was a kind, polite and amiable teenager then, and surely, it led to him becoming a kind and successful man. Wish he had more longevity to spread his good cheer. May his family's memories continue to console them.

To Harry's family, I went to Hope High School with Harry and remember him well after all these years. My condolences to his brother Fred with whom I was acquainted, and to his children as well.
