Dear Kathy and Family,
We live with our twins 4 houses down on Charleswood from where you both lived. We are sad to hear of Harry’s passing and send our condolences to you all. We sure have missed seeing him on the street walking the pupfor a few years now. We used to enjoy having our usual fishing chats with him and swapping tips. He was a wonderful and kind man. Thinking of you all.

Leaving Charleswood was difficult but needed with Harry’s condition. We are so grateful for years we had there & the wonderful, supportive neighbors. I dare not take Misu on the street – would make a bee-line for what she thinks is our home! However, we’re adjusting. Many thanks. Kathy
So sorry to hear this Kathy if there anything I can do for you
just call
thank-you carol – wish we could have returned to Charleswood after the fire – not to be. Am adjusting to my new status as a “widow” – seems this is a growing “club” for us in the 70’s. god Bless Kathy
Kathy, our condolences, so sad to hear the news of Harry’s passing. We got to know Harry during his last few working years and he was a wonderful and kind gentleman, always a pleasure to be around. He will always be remembered at the shop. We are sorry for your loss.

Harry thoroughly enjoyed his working years at Sunshine pools – visited often after his retirement – believe it was the most satisfying job he ever had as a sales person. thank-you for remembering his contribution. Kathy
