Barr also of Lititz; and a brother: Robert Hess of Manheim.  Harry was the proud grandfather of his two grandchildren: Tommy and Kendra.

Cathy, we were deeply saddened to read of your loss today. We will always remember Harry as a good friend, having worked with him at Armstrong and his Christmas visits to play cards at Lump’s.
Sincerely
George and Anne Schanz.

To the wife and family of Harry,
I never really knew Harry personally but just wanted to let you all know that Harry always made my day when I went to visit my daughter.  My daughter lived across the street from Harry until recently and for almost 10 years when I came and he was outside he always waved to me and called out a greeting. Just a smile and a friendly wave sometimes but it meant so much to me.  My daughter recently moved and I missed seeing Harry.  My sympathy goes out to you all in your loss and I will always remember "Harry"!!
Sincerely,
Cindie Berglund

We were so shocked and saddened to hear of Harry’s death.  The news picture was perfect,just the way we remembered him.

Our deepest sympathy.

Kathy and family,
My deepest sympathy over the loss of Harry. Although I have not seen him in years, I will always remember the good times from the floor plant. Harry always had us laughing and actually gave me a nickname that still follows me 35 years later. May he rest in peace.
