Harry was a wonderful person who will be sadly missed.
I am so saddened to hear this. Harry and Roberta are the greatest example of what true love and total commitment looks like.
I believe that God will hold him in his loving arms and keep him.
I pray Birdie, Harry’s children, his grandchildren, relatives and friends find comfort and joy in the memories of the life shared with him.
Harry was an amazing man, one I always looked up to. Family was always his priority and he was very proud of each one of them. My condolences to Roberta and the rest of the family. May he rest in peace, and ride his Harley in the sky, every day. Find comfort in the memories of the happy times, his smile, his laugh and the twinkle in his eyes when he was up to no good. Hugs to all of you.
