So Sorry About Your Husband and Father Although you will miss him and long for his presence and all of the warm family times that you had... Just try and remember through all your sorrow you have every reason to smile and be glad... You wouldn't be feeling exceptional sadness if you hadn't had an exceptional dad. With Sincere Sympathy - Posted by: Brad Varlyne Tania Hines (Friend) on: Sep 21, 2005

Harry was a good friend. We shared my garage for years. In exchange, he mowed my lawn in summer and plowed my walk in winter because of my not-so-good health. We also enjoyed a few drinks together at 141 Legion the odd time. I'll miss my buddy. Heartfelt condolences to his family. Love, Bill. - Posted by: Bill Korolyk (Friend) on: Sep 21, 2005
