To Harry's Family... Harry and Monie were two of the sweetest people anyone could ever know. And I was blessed to know both of them. They were a match made in heaven. Harry will be deeply missed by the staff of Urban Mission. Harry was always upbeat and was always ready to encourage us. I am certain in my heart that the door was already opened and waiting for Harry. God Bless and comfort each of you as you go through this time of pain. Hold on to all the memories because no one can take those away from you. No matter where your travels take you, those memories will always be there. Linda Smith

What a great man, example and role model he was especially to me as a Finley kid and teen...I appreciated Harry for his warmth, friendliness, infectious smile and it was great riding in his "used" cars that my dad purchased from him when he got a new one! I will always remember him in so many different ways...from Finley softball to ushering (will always remember when he tapped me on the shoulder and asked me to help usher for the very first time!--that was special). His witness and commitment to Christ and the Church (especially Finley)left a mark in my life. I appreciated even in his poor health his coming to my dad's funeral in early July, 07. Harry, see you in heaven!!!
