Time marches on and it is hard to believe that this sweet man has been gone this long. Harry was such a kind, loving husband, dad, grandpa and great grandpa to his amazing, loving family. He was an honest and trustworthy businessman as well. What a happy, loving man he was to so many. He is missed everyday but so much alive in our hearts forever. We miss you dear friend.

It is hard to believe that Harry left us 6 years ago. As I look at our beautiful Pikes Peak this morning I think of him. He loved Colorado and Florida. He is still in my heart as well as his entire family. He was special!
