I am so sorry to hear this. Lived in lancaster with Harry for many many years and we were in school together. I am so glad he made it to our 50th reunion. It was so good to see him. Our sincere condolences to Josie and all his family.
Henry was a wonderful, kind and generous gentlemen. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family members during these difficult times.
Deepest condolences to all immediate and extended family members. Uncle Harry will be truly missed.
I’ve known Harry since grade school days in Lancaster. We had many great times together. One of my favorites was boiling down Sugar maple sap to make syrup and maple candy poured over snow to make maple lollipops in his mom’s kitchen. It was great to see Harry and his wife Josie at our 50th high school reunion. My deepest sympathy to you Josie and all your family.
