Janet and family My wife Melody and I extend our heartfelt and most deepest sympathies to you. Although words cannot really help to ease the loss you and your family bear, I just wanted you to know that we are thinking of you. Although it will be difficult the next few days to see beyond the sorrow, I know that looking back in memory and on happier times will bring you comfort. The pain and longing will subside and you will remember more fondly the wonderful times you shared. You will never forget him - there always will be a sound, a smell, a saying that will trigger a memory of Harry and that memory will hopefully be a pleasant one. Harry’s wonderful sense of humour, love of family, loyalty to long-time friends and colleagues, ease of engaging in conversation and an inordinate amount of energy all made Harry a true pleasure to work with. When he spoke of his family, it was with great pride and rightly so. Family, both children and grandchildren were center and foremost for him. Not only was he very professional and giving of his knowledge, but he also loved to share his experiences on a personal note. Harry always had a great story to tell and I for one always loved to listen knowing the story would always end on a humorous note. We enjoyed a long professional working and personal relationship. I appreciated our time, his trust and our learning together. Harry was one of the best. You and your family remain in my thoughts and prayers.
