Harry was a good and patriotic person and will be missed. We had some good times while he was Executive Director for the Museum and he did a fine job along with Crista keeping the Museum in great shape. Harry was one of the founders of the Museum and his heart was in his work. We all have lost a fine friend.

Harry has been missed so much here in the North Ga. mountains. I was looking so forward to him coming back here to the little cabin he and Christa loved so much. He was a great and wonderful friend and neighbor, but now he has gone home to be with the Lord. Our condolences to all the family. I am sure Jesus welcomed him with open arms.
