Harry was the President of the New Horizons Seniors Club and belonged to the Mens BVM Wildlife Association. He will be remembered for his friendly manner and having a heart of gold. God saw you getting tired, when a cure was not to be, He closed His arms around you, and whispered, "come to Me." In tears we saw you sinking, we watched you fade away, Our hearts were almost broken, you fought so hard to stay. What you suffered, you told so few, you didnt deserve what you went through. Tired and weary, you made no fuss, but tried so hard to stay with us. But when we saw you sleeping, so peaceful, free from pain, We could not wish you back, to suffer all that again. So treasure him Lord in your garden of rest, For here on earth he was the very best.
