My sincere condolences in the loss of your dear Father, Grandfather and Great Grandfather. Harry was a super friendly fellow and always smiling, very welcoming and warm. I will always treasure the friendship I had with both Trudy and Harry over 25 years. We had several memorable visits over their kitchen table. They were very valued and appreciated long time customers.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. Rest in peace Harry.

I was one of his homecare workers. I adored Harm. He was an amazing artist and the puzzles he put together were amazing. Such a sweet man. RIP Harm.

To Harry’s Family, my condolences to you all on the passing of your father. I delivered prescriptions to him from Guardian Drug Stores for years while he was still in his home. I would say hello to him in Bluewater since my dad has been there these past few years. Such a nice Gentleman
