Harry was a great guy I enjoyed working with him at the Dock and when he odd the jobs for dad.
Harry was an outstanding member of St. Luke’s Lutheran church. He also enjoyed working at Warner’s Dock in his spare time. He rigged a couple boats for me in the older days. He will be missed by a lot of people. Condolences from Bonnie and Bill to the family on his passing.
Our deepest sympathies and sincerest condolences go out to the entire family of Harold. All of you are in our thoughts and prayers.
