Harry,

You will always be remembered.

I will never forget the driving lessons that you gave me and very grateful that you had the patience to deal with me. I'm sure that I must have given you a few scares along with a gray hair or two. You and Ruth were so good to Robyn and Toot during my time of sorrow and need. When I needed you, you were always there. You will always be in our hearts.

Will certainly miss you and your humor.

Love, Betty & Don Clark

Uncle Harry,

You will be missed.......I will especially miss talking about your missions as a gunner in the war and as a small child I still remember the nature walks around the grounds of your home. Then there was the time you took my mom and my daughter and myself for the train ride when you had Brandy blow the whistle, the three of us will never forget that day. I will go to "Eye" for you and report back to you. There is a tradition that you had with pennies at 222 I will carry on for you as you smile down upon us...........You will be missed.

Love you, Joey and Robyn Reynolds
