Tributes & Memories
I was so saddened to learn of Harry's death. I smile whenever I think of you, Edna, and Harry coming to Hale HS for square dance lessons. Harry said he really wasn't interersted, but after about three tips we noticed him tapping his feet to the music. Glenn said, "we've got him!" What fun times. Having lost my precious Glenn last year, my condolences are from the heart.

I’m sorry to hear about the loss of "Uncle Harry." I will remember him as a cheerful, loving man, who treated my sisters and I very kindly. I hope he is now resting in peace.

Edna and family -- I thought the world of Harry as did my parents, Jack and Doris. I'll never forget his unique laugh and how his eyes just shined. God speed to you and your family. He was a real gem!
