  We are very saddened with the sudden loss of our beloved "Grumpy" Harry....it is insurmounatble that Harry 'n gone can be used in the same sentence.
  
  There are no words to convey our feelings; our heartache with the loss of Harry 'n Even if we were to find the words .......they will be inadequate.
  
  We love you Harry.........we will shed tears that you are gone....but we will smile because you lived....
  
  "Shoulder to shoulder" right Harry?

• My deepest sympathy for Harry's wife Betty! He was a true soldier and a proud man! Harry was for many years my Captain and team-mate in billards and also a friend. I stood beside Betty, as her matron of honor, at their wedding. Harry's sudden death saddens me deeply. I know his fellow commrad's at A.N.A.F. will miss his smiling face and his jolly spirit! I will always remember Harry with respect. Mostly, to his incredible dedication to his country and how proud he was to wear his uniform! Harry will be fondly kept in my heart. It was an honor to know him. Rest in Peace Harry....You will be missed! May 15, 2008
