To Joan and Family. I am so sorry to hear of Harry’s passing. I had heard through the family grapevine that he had been suffering so I imagine that it was not a surprise. It is kind of a weird thing that happens when someone passes and our memory of life with that person comes from some saved place in our memory banks to remind us of how lucky we were to have known that person. As we age our memories start failing us but memories like I have of Harry are still sharp and seem quite recent. Our condolences to your whole family. He was one in a million and has left us in a much better place for all the hearts his light has touched. Cousin Dennis and Pam - Posted by: Pam & Dennis Pistun (First Cousins) on: Jul 18, 2024

Our condolences go to Joan and her family. Father Harry was always there when you needed him. Father performed at both of my parents funerals and was always very compassionate. We have lost a great man of God. RIP Father Harry. - Posted by: Bob and Betty Hykaway (Cousins ) on: Jul 16, 2024
