Dear Millen Family:
My deepest sympathy is extended to all of you during this sensitive time. Harry and I worked side by side during our Western Electric/AT&T years and became very close friends. Harry was a blast...funny, easy to work with, and he loved his family totally. What a wonderful family man...and what an extraordinary family he and his wife raised. I appreciated Harry so much, and now, like all of you, I have the memories of a special man which brings a smile on my face. I will miss Harry...but we shall see him again one day.
Blessings to all of you,
Dave and Betty Justice

My deepest condolences on your loss. I worked with Harry at Western Electric and remember how proud he was of the athletic achievements of his children. He proudly wore an Orange Bowl watch given him by Matt, and Jean was starring for Whitehall at the time. We had fun talking about them and Penn State. He will be missed.

Dear Nancy & Family,
We're so sorry about your dad's passing.
I didn't realize he was a member of the
Presbyterian Church in Hokendaukqua, my

bet they knew one another. Again, we are
so sorry!

We had the pleasure of knowing Harry for about 14 years. He was a delightful man who always had a smile and a story. My mother said that he must have kissed the Blarney Stone, she loved listening to him when we would get together at Beth and Bill's house. May God grant him eternal rest and happiness in the presence of our Triune God!
