I just found out about Harry’s passing. What a great guy he was. In the late 80s he used to pick me up for band practice, everytime, because I didn’t have a car. We played some gigs together as well. Thanks for the great memories!!!

Harry was one of my best friends. He was fantastic soccer player, bass player, and great friend. The times I spent with Harry are some of most memorable and happiest days of my younger life. I will keep you in my heart and soul forever. Miss you buddy and I love you like a brother.
My heart hurts however I will always remember the great times we had together. I am blessed to have had the time we spent together and to have gotten to know Harry’s beautiful family. Until we meet again.
Larry and I are so very sorry to hear about Harry’s passing. We have known Harry for many years. He was a kind soul. We last saw him when he grinded a stump for us! Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.
I am beyond sad about Harry’s passing.He was a big part of my High School years. I wish I could have said goodbye.RIP sir.
