Sandra and family, I am so sorry to hear of Harry's passing. Know that you are in my prayers.
Great tribute, America has lost a great family man and patriot but heaven has gained one.
Remembering all the sweet memories of all the sleepovers, family fun, and chocolate gravy. I was taken in to this family as if it were my own. I love each and everyone one of you. I used to love giving Harry a hard time and always joking with him. He just gave it right back to me. Y'all will forever be in my thoughts, prayers, and precious memories. I will miss you my sweet friend!!! Heaven just got a new angel. ♥ï¸
Sending you my deepest condolences. â¤ï¸
Sandra and family,

Aunt Sandra, Rebecca, Jennifer, and family,
Kristie and I always looked forward to spending time with Uncle Harry. He could entertain you with his stories and his wisecracks, and you always felt like you were on the edge of getting into some sort of mischief. When he was among family, he loved to banter and keep the conversation lively (some might say ''uncomfortable''). He had a big heart, and when he laughed, he used his whole body, and it was impossible not to join in. We are praying for strength and guidance for all of you during this difficult time, but we hope you gain some comfort in knowing how much Uncle Harry was loved, and how much he meant to us. We will miss him, but trust that we will meet again in heaven. And every now and then, we may have to sneak off to the side to make each other crack up, as a lot of folks up there may not appreciate our humor.
Love,
Gaylon and Kristie
