Dear Carol and Family,
We find no words to express how we feel. It was our honor and pleasure to have met Harry. He was loving, caring, faithful and true to everyone he met. Will never forget his messages and his picture laden e-mails on the kids and their activities. We can honestly say he was one in a million and will be sadly missed.

Dear Carol and Family,
Annette and I remember Harry as a kind and gentle man. Harry and Carol were the first to welcome us to the Quail Ridge HOA community when we moved to poppy lane in June 2017. Harry was a pillar of this community and he provided great service to the local HOA board for several years.

Carol, Amy,Lucas and family,
My heart is happy for your loss! I will never forget you guys coming to Centennial to bring the grandkids to see Amy when they were dressed up for Halloween. You guys were so much fun and my sister absolutely adored you as KY. I still have the recipe those wonderful cookies that you guys gave to me. His sense of humor was out of this world, always a smile and always a bit of sarcasm. I will forever remember his smile and kindness. May God watch over and bless you and hold you in his embrace
Carole and family my apologies for auto correct saying happy instead of what I wanted to say which was unhappy! Harry would probably look down from heaven and say that’s funny Susie.
Carol, Amy and family…Never has there been a more kind, loving, dedicated and proud husband, father and grandfather. I am so honored to have known him and I am so very sorry for your loss. God Bless you all.
