My condolences to Harry’s family, I love you all.
Harry was a special guy. He had a way of making you smile and feel welcome around his family and at his homes. I have a lot of memories of Harry and him always smiling. We always smiling around him, he used to like to tease a lot, especially with his girls and their friends. Harry and Charlene had a life that everyone dreams of, a lot fun, smiles, laughing, loving, kindness but their most love and healthfulness was with their children and their grand kids. Harry will be dearly missed but will remain in your heart and memories if you was lucky enough to know him. Go rest on that mountain and fly with the other angels Harry watching over your family from Heaven.
