Dear Nancy, we were so sorry to hear of Harry's passing.  We are fortunate we got to meet both of you in the Villages.   We shared many laughs and dinners together.   We will miss those times.   Take care of yourself.  You are loved by many.  May Harry rest in peace.  

It was about a year after I moved to Richardson Road in The Villages when the house across the street from me went up for sale.  It was't long before Linda and I got to meet the new home owners, Harry and Nancy.  

It was obvious from the beginning that Harry was a wonderful friend.  Many times he and I sat and talked on his front porch and we all went out to dinner on occasion.  He was just a lot of fun to be around.

The pandemic has kept us from getting together for the past year and it was total shock when Nancy told us the sad news relative to the ambulance I saw in front of their house.

Our condolences, love and prayers go out to Nancy and all the family members.  Rest in peace Harry, you will be missed.


Dear Nancy and Family
   We were so sorry to hear of Harry's passing.  Jeff and Harry always had such laughs and stories to tell about his real estate adventures in "the botttoms"  in Columbus.  Our sincerest condolences to your entire family.

Harry you and I always shared some funny moments.  I could abuse Harry and he would laugh and try to abuse back.  Most of the time he let me  get him more than he giving back.  A kind and funny man, will miss him. Many fine moments.  Rest In Peace.  May your memory be eternal. 

So sorry for your loss Nancy....Will keep you in my thoughts and prayers...

A man of style
A man of grace
Always put a smile upon my face.
Lover of music, sweets and fine art 
He was one of a kind 
Funny and smart.
Harry,  you will be missed 
Your love, Nancy, will always hold 
you close to her heart
Be assured, no matter how distant
You will never be far apart. 

**Grief never ends
    But it changes
    It's a passage,  not a place to stay.
    Grief is not a sign of weakness, 
     nor a lack of faith....
     It is the price of love.

We first met Harry at a driveway party in the village of LYNNHAVEN, in the Villages. We got on straight away, and we spent many happy times with him and Nancy over the last 5 years. Harry always made us laugh, I guess we had the same sense of humour. We are from England, and we are so upset that because of COVID 19, we couldn’t go to the Villages last year, for our usual 3months, so we missed seeing him . He was such a lovely guy, we shall miss him so much, especially at the Pub on a Saturday evening to watch OHIO state playing American football.  We love you Harry, REST IN PEACE !!!

Harry was an extremely nice person. He would give you the shirt off of his back if you needed it. Harry was always there if you needed him. He will be sorely missed. Harry, I love you. 

Some of my favorite memories growing up include holidays with the Burmans.  I looked forward to their visit,  a house full of laughter, piles of presents, a buffet of great food, always with the piano playing in the background, Harry was such a huge part of those special memories that I hold onto.  He was so funny, talented, creative, and a very special cousin.   I think he knows he made me my most favorite gifts as a child.  He built a special dollhouse for my beloved corn husk dolls.  To me...it was the most amazing gift I had ever received.  
Even though we didn't talk often, when we did, it was conversations filled with love and laughter.  
Nancy, I am so thankful you and Harry found each other.  You brought such happiness into my cousin's life.  Knowing you were by his side and he had a great life with you and your family is a blessing.  Harry.....You will always have a special place in my heart.

ps....my boys still have the model cars you sent and they are still in the original boxes 

We met Harry and Nancy at their first Buckeye football watch in The Villages, and invited them to join out table for the game. What great, friendly and enthusiastic folks! We are shocked and saddened to learn of Harry's passing. 
Our hearts and prayers go out to Nancy and the family. Know that will cherish fond memories of Harry always. "How firm thy friendship, O-HI-O"

The first time I met Harry is when I got engaged to his uncle Ben. I sang Somewhere over the Rainbow. Just last year,when we had a long chat he told me he thought I was so beautiful that day. I’m sad that he had to leave us so soon and that we didn’t get to spend more time together.I know he had a happy life with Nancy.My thoughts are with you and the family.Love Aunt Rhea

I have so many wonderful and funny memories with my dear cousin Harry. I always remember how he would come to our house and literally eat anything and everything he could get his hands on in the refrigerator and freezer. You would always be amazed he could eat to much and not get sick.  He also bought my daughter a doll when she was born which we still have. We were so hoping to see them at her wedding this fall. I loved him so much.  Nancy you were a life line and blessing to Harry and he adored you. Thank you for making him so happy. Prayers and all my love to Nancy and the entire family.
May his memory be a blessing, always!

Love,
Adrienne and Dennis

To my dear Cousin Harry. Such great memories when we were kids at Lake Erie . At Brochears Cottage with the cat. Funny. Still laugh to this day. You always made me laugh. You were one of a kind cousin. Although you will be missed  I always hold memories of you in my heart.  You'll  always bring me a smile. Love you. 


So many precious memories of kind and caring Harry.
Personally, I remember only fun times with my cousins Bobby Harry and Susie.

We are so very sad for Nancy , the children and grandchildren.
May his memory be a blessing .

Love
Seena and Carey


Harry and I were friends growing up in Steubenville and through our years 
at Ohio State and beyond. I was devastated to hear of his sudden passing. I always have a smile on my face when I think of him or when  even today as I take the air out of a bag of bread before I close it.  He would get a kick out of that one.  On a  more serious note , Nancy, I am so sorry for your great loss. Harry spoke so lovingly of you and  your family.  Melony,your Dad loved you dearly. May his memory be a blessing.
