Dracoules Family,
I would like to extend to you my deepest condolences in Harry’s passing. I had the opportunity to work with Harry for nearly 9 years, and it was always a treat to meet with him. He always had a kind word, he was always polite and was a genuinely nice person.
I think I can safely say that Harry was a favorite in our program, and speaking for myself, I will surely miss him.
Sincerely,
Susan Carolus
