I will never forget you Harry. I loved when we used to go golf Pete field and head back to your house for a home brew. You always brought your A game when you played against me! I am going to miss talking to you about my journey with the CSP and the shooting advice you helped so many with but I know you will be there beside me giving me guidance when I need it. My thoughts go out to all the people you have touched throughout your years.

Having known Harry through the Golf league that he and my two sons were in together, i can say that he was and always will be a great person. He will be sadly missed by many. I was honored to have had the pleasure to get to know him and enjoy playing a sport he loved. To his family my family will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Just know that you now have a new Angel looking over you and guiding you each and every day. God Bless you Harry and his family also.

Harry - You taught me a lot on the range. I just did not have the gift of shooting that you had. My prayers are with you and your family.

Sarge, you were a great teacher, and encourager, who helped me a lot at the EPSO range. We were both volunteers, and I marveled at your commitment to my reserve academy's success. You live on in our memories.
