He's my grandpa on my dad's side, Ron. I only met him a few times, but the times I was around him I knew he was an amazing man.

I'm sorry Debbie I couldn't attend Harry's memorial service.  I was honored to know and work with Harry his entire career at Boeing.  I enjoyed him coming over to talk and chat.  I will sorely miss Harry.  God bless Harry and your entire family.

Paul and I Met Harry and Debbie this summer when they bought their Show Low place.  We were very impressed with they friendliness and affection for each other. They are the type of people we would loved to have had for friends.  Our hearts are saddened for Debbie's loss and know she has many wonderful memories of their love and time together.

Harry and I came to the Company in 1985 and oh what a pleasure it was to meet him. He will be dearly missed .... My thoughts and prayers for the Willis Family ....

Debbie, I am sorry to hear of your loss. Brady Brewer and I know you from carpool parking at Boeing. Please know you have our greatest sympathy. Cathy McConnell and Brady Brewer (Seattle, Washington).

I am so saddened by Harry's death... For all that you all have been through to be taken in such an abrupt way breaks my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I keep thinking I'm going to round the corner at work and he'll be standing there. Watching Survivor won't be the same anymore! :( I hope that peace finds your heart.

Debbie - I will be unable to attend the service on Saturday but I wanted you to know that Harry is missed.  He was someone I truly respected and enjoyed his dry sense of humor.  I truly believe that although he isn't physically here he is with you every day and I hope you feel his presence.  Take care of you - it's certainly what Harry would want!

Harry was admired by so many. Always there with a friendly hello and kind words. He will be missed by all who knew him. We are so sorry for your loss Debbie. Our thoughts are with you and your family.

Debbie, I'm so very sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time. I hope as time passes, you find comfort in the memories of good times you had with Harry.

Debbie, my heart goes out to you and your family in the loss of your Dearest Harry. One day we will all leave this earth, but to leave it with a lot of love is the best thing. Harry touched all of us with his kindness, acceptance and sense of humor. I will always remember Harry with that little sideways smile, when you knew he was going to tease about something. My prayers are for you to feel God's comfort and healing when your heart is heavy. We all grieve and share in the loss of our dear Friend, Harry

I've been here at Boeing for over 16 years, and one of the genuinely great guy that I ever met was Harry, not that I worked with him, but saying all of the "Hellos" and brief hallway conversations, told me a lot about his characters. Debbie, real sorry for your  lose. You and your family are in our payers.......god bless.    Mike & Jamal Sayegh

I am so, so sorry. I am glad I got to know Harry through bowling, and of course, horse shoes.  I miss him--the way he told a story, his quiet smile, his sense of humor.

Deb, feel free to call me any time, for any reason.

Debbie, we are so sorry for your tragic loss.  We didn't know Harry that long, but we enjoyed his company and our time with him at the RV resort. We will miss him. You and Harry are in our thoughts and  prayers.

We take for granted the ones we see every day, and this is one of those times that reminds me of this. Harry was such a nice, humble guy and just so easy to be around.  My thoughts and prayers are with Debbie and family.  I am so sorry for your loss.

Debbie, I am so sorry for your loss.  You and your family are in my prayers.  Leslie Cloud (Mesa, AZ)

Harry was always great to talk to. I didn't work closely with him, but he was always helpful and cordial when we spoke. He will be missed...
With deepest sympathy.

Debbie,
I, too, have known Harry for a long time, as so many before me have noted; always a kind smile and a lending hand - a genuinely good man! I agree with you, "not fair", after all he's gone through.  He truly will be missed by so many!!  I hope you will find peace in the many wonderful memories that you shared with Harry.  God Bless You and Your Family!

Debbie,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.  I am sorry for your loss.  Harry will be missed by all.  He was a wonderful man.

Harry was always a pleasure to work with here at Mesa. We worked on spares contracts and requirements and he was very kind when things got tough at work.  Harry's smile and well wishes he gave whenever we saw each other around the campus will be missed.  My heartfelt condolences and prayers go out to you and family. I know that Harry is smiling knowing that we all cared about him and I wish him well in his new chapter of life.

All these kind words about Harry are absolutely genuine and true. He was very kind and a pleasure to work with. He served the U. S. military with honor and he was a true patriot.

I will miss our morning pass byes, "Good Morning Harry", "Have a nice Day Michelle" :)  God bless you on your new journey and God bless your family!

I enjoyed working with Harry over the years. His kindness and willingness to work with everyone will be missed up here on the second floor. May god watch over you and your family during this time of sorrow.

It was a pleasure working with Harry this past year in the FRC.   He was a wonderful gentleman, and is sadly missed by his teammates.   We all have great memories of Harry, which we will always treasure.    Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Harry was "one of a kind" and will be missed by many.  I feel blessed to have known his friendship.  He was very professional, but also brought a sense of humor to the day making it a pleasure to work with him.  You could always count on Harry to help you out.  I will miss him very much.

My sincere sympathies, Deb and family, and May God send you peace and comfort.  We will all treasure the fond memories of the fine man Harry was.

Debbie, there is nothing anyone can say that will ease your pain.  But just know that Harry was very rich in the number of friends he had and how much we all will miss him. I had the pleasure of working with Harry at Boeing for over 23 years and every time I saw him, he would always stop to say hi and ask how I was doing.  He was always there to help me in anything I needed to support our troops. He was a great man, a team player and a special friend.  May you find comfort in the memories you both made and remember for he is only a thought away.  May God Bless you and yours.

Harry was a very sweet and kind man.  I will miss his "Good Morning's" as we past each other in the morning. My prayers are with you.

Deb, I'm so sad to hear of Harry's leaving this good earth so soon.  He and Fred were long time buddies and I'm sure they will have a few stories to swap. I can see them both smiling down on us.  God Bless you.

We lost a great man. My deepest sympathy.

Harry was one of the most "genuinely nice" people I have ever known.  Always a smile, always a good word; pleasant, kind, and a joy to be around, no matter what challenges he was facing at the moment.  For the first time in many months, I ran into him at work just the week before his tragic passing.  He made a point of saying hello, and asking how I was... and it made my day.  Little did I know that would be our farewell.

Debbie, words are not enough at this time.  As others have observed, you two were connected in a way that many couples only dream of.  Please be kind to yourself; and let family and friends assist and support you in these early difficult days.  Take each day as it comes, and take comfort from every available source.  Know that you are deeply cared for, and that -- in the fullness of time -- the sun will come out again, and you'll find a way to move forward.

Harry was a wonderful father-in-law, and a super Grandpa!!! He will be greatly missed by all of us!!  "We love you Grandpa Harry"!!! Love, Shari, Danielle, Nichole, and Benjamin.(& the Great Grandchildren...Dallas Renae, Kaden James, Henry Lewis, and Margo Sophia)  Our prayers our with you Debbie!! We were so happy that Harry found you!!

If ‘wishes' could only turn back time –
for the both of you.
So many things that are so difficult to understand.
We pray an abundance of prayer that
Debbie has the assurance, always knowing, that Harry has never left her.
All of our prayers go out to you Harry & Debbie and your family. 
Love, friendship, & peace 
Allana & Amiah~

What a nice tribute to Harry. He will be missed indeed -- sure glad we had the chance to be long-time bowling friends.

Debbie,
Although I did not know Harry that well, I do know that you both were like two love birds. I am very sorry! You and the rest of the family are in my prayers. God Bless!

Please accept our deepest sympathy...Gary and Gloria Dias
