Prayers for the family. Harry was such a good friend. We played in local bands together in Willard. We used to practice at his aunt Alice Staff's house. RIP Harry.

Words can not even begin to express the great sorrow in our hearts, and yet the laughter in our souls as we remember the many years of joy your father brought to all of those around him. Always a huge smile on his face, words of great wisdom, and a touch of "playfulness" that was followed by a wink of his eye, is how Harry will always be remembered. What a "character" that was admired, loved and will be missed by all who knew him. Love and prayers to your entire family Lynn and Steve.
