Dear Ivan and Brenda, Nancy and Sandra and all your families,
It is with very heavy hearts we offer our sincere sympathy in the sad loss of Harry…your dear Dad and Grandpa and Great Grandpa. He was such a unique and caring man and such a great historian. His family, friends, and Church Community will miss him greatly. We were so privileged to have him sing at our wedding 44 years ago, and to enjoy a phone call of Anniversary congratulations each year and have a lovely chat. He and Bob continued their life of duets by leaving us on the same day…and we can take away some small comfort that they are still together now, for eternity. Your family is in our thoughts as prayers.
