I am so sorry to hear at this late date of Harrys passing. I seem to have lost touch with him over the past couple of years while dealing with my own grief.  but that's no excuse.
I worked for Harry when he was the CEO at HOMCO, i was the manager for Europe. We had a great relationship and I cant speak highly enough of him as a boss and a mentor. He was fair, friendly and funny.  My wife Jenny and I visited Harry and Nancy in Houston and just today I was looking at a photograph of myself and Harry and the dog taken during that visit.   One funny story.   Harry came  to Aberdeen for a visit and as our major business was concluded he suggested we visit some of the suppliers. I took him to the machine shop we used .  He sked the owner if his employees had a drug problem.  No was the response they get all they need.   Harry smiled.  I will remember him fondly.

I just saw that Harry passed away this spring. He was a good man.
My memories of him are always positive, I remain close to a mutual friend, Ben Alvord, whom I will relate this information.

Our deepest condolences to Nancy, Manning & siblings, and Lawren.  Harry was such a kind, warm and engaging person.  Our prayers are with him and the entire family.

To Harry, an amazing soul who made this world a better place and left a lasting and loving legacy, and to his family:

"Let us not look for you only in memory,
Where we would grow lonely without you.
You would want us to find you in presence,
Beside us when beauty brightens,
When kindness glows
And music echoes eternal tones.

When orchids brighten the earth,
Darkest winter has turned to spring;
May this dark grief flower with hope
In every heart that loves you.

May you continue to inspire us:

To enter each day with a generous heart.
To serve the call of courage and love
Until we see your beautiful face again
In that land where there is no more separation,
Where all tears will be wiped from our mind,
And where we will never lose you again."

John O'Donohue

Harry the father of the bride - one of his proudest moments. Standing strong even in the strong wind t the rehearsal!

As a dear friend of Katy’s, I had the pleasure of getting to know Harry and Nancy better at her wedding. He always made me feel so welcome when we were together.  He rarely talked about himself and always asked about me and my life -  personally and professionally - remembering accurately the last conversation we had. What a gem he was with this incredibly warm way with people. I’m honored to have known him and seen him in recent days. Godspeed, Harry. You are loved and will be missed by so many.

Harry & Nancy reached out so warmly to us at the beautiful wedding of Katy & Chad that we still feel the glow of that reach!
 
As newer friends from Fisher, Illinois, if only what we say here to honor Harry could be as eloquent as his toast to us was at that very special family's celebration.  We felt honored by his words so much that we like to reflect on the inciteful way he somehow understood our very long, fun, meaningful relationship with Katy's groom and his parents.

It's just plain wonderful to imagine how Harry's insightfulness and caring translated to the varied businesses he astutely managed.  How each must have benefitted by his gifts!

Our loving thoughts and prayers are with each person who grieves Harry's departure from this life. May each feel comforted by the Creator's Power and Spirit as they share in wonderful memories and his love for them.

We love you so much, Grandpa. Please say hi to dad for me and walk with us forever.
