To Harry's family, I am so sorry for your loss.
--- My heart sank yesterday when I opened my mailbox and found the birthday that I had sent Harry, returned.  I immediately texted him and waited.  I knew in my heart what I technically did not know.  Google then confirmed it and I felt like I had been punched in the stomach.  Harry and I met through mutual friends in Miami.   He attended my wedding and I saw him from time to time.  I moved to Central Florida and for the last 15 years,  Harry and I have been  mostly pen pals.   He always picked out the most beautiful cards.  Harry brought me so much joy in some very dark times in my life.  Even though I was working as a P.O., I was struggling to make ends meet.  Not long after I conveyed this to him, he sent me a check for groceries.  That was Harry.  I NEVER cashed the check and we didn't speak of it.  Harry was kind and caring.   Whenever I saw a card from Harry in the mailbox, it made me smile.   
--- I feel so empty Harry knowing that I will never receive a card or letter from you again...telling me how you are doing or the latest on your "fur kids" as you lovingly called them.   I wanted to thank you.   You touched my life and made a difference.  I will never forget you Harry.  Until we meet again my friend. I love you-♡

First you were my neighbor, who became my friend and turned into Family.  You will truly be missed.  We sure had good times together.  
Harry Zimmerman was an old school gentleman,  He held his shoulders back and his head high no matter what. He  taught me so much in my early years during hard times. 
 I will never forget his lessons.
  Love & Miss you always.  Never Goodbye

My wife and Myself will be Praying for Harry's Family as they deal with his passing. I am so sorry for your loss.

Dearest Zimmerman Family,
Harry was a big part of my family. He loved my children and had the biggest heart and soul of anyone I've known. I enjoyed helping him work on my many vehicles to save me on his bill...hahaha. He was a larger than life man and larger than life human being loving his babies along the way. I'm hoping all your past babies are running across the field of dreams to be back in your arms my friend. You made a mark on my life with your honesty and caring for others. Wow, God speed now Harry Zimmerman what a SPECIAL MAN. In Jesus name I pray...amen.

I knew Harry since 1957. Always such a friendly peaceful guy. May you rest in peace dear friend and classmate.

Wow, Harry was such a cool guy! One of the most dedicated racers ever and just a nice all around person. The world will miss him for sure.

My condolences to the family. Harry race on in the heavens. God speed. 🏁🏁🏁🏆🏆🏆
