We, the family and friends of Harry Reid in Jamaica, along with his nephews in the British Virgin Islands, are sorry we won’t be there for the celebration of his life.

Harry was my husband’s brother, and I first got to know him in 1974 when he came to visit his mother. From that time on, he became like my own brother. In 1994, my son and I had the opportunity to visit Harry in Canada. He welcomed us warmly and made us feel right at home. He took us to Niagara Falls, and we shared such a wonderful time together.

Even after the passing of my husband, I continued to visit Harry whenever I was in Canada visiting my daughter. As his health declined, he was not able to care for himself the way he wanted to, but I was happy to support him in any way I could. I would cook his favorite meals, ackee and saltfish, pig’s tail, red peas, and fried plantain. Even when he was in the nursing home, he would still ask for his Jamaican food. I am truly grateful I was able to do those things for him.

Harry was a very kind person who always wanted to help others in any way he could. I remember our many conversations about his childhood, growing up with his brothers and sister. He would speak with laughter and joy in his voice. I also remember when he would visit Sherwood Content to see his grandmother and aunt the happiness on his face in those moments said it all.

Harry, fly high. You will always be missed, but I take comfort in knowing that you are no longer in pain.

With love,
Carol

My dear Uncle Harry, I’m happy I got to spend the last 10 years getting to know you. Even though by then you were a man of few words, I will never forget the smile that would light up your face whenever I would visit especially when I bring you ackee and saltfish or stew peas 😁. I didn’t know you in your earlier days but can tell from pictures I’ve seen that you lived life to the fullest. You were loved and you will be missed. Rest easy Uncle.

May his souls rest in perfect peace, May Almighty God comfort his family at this period in time (Amen)

I will forever be grateful to Uncle Harry for being a good brother to our father Dal. Will I didn’t know him that well, the few interactions I had with him- mainly via telephone were always pleasant.  My mother also spoke positively of him. Rest well Uncle Harry.

My Condolences to the Reid Family. I have known Harry for over 40 years. He was a father, brother , uncle , a good friend and a great guy. Someone that you could depend on, in good times and in bad times, Harry would give the shirt off is back if you needed it. Because that’s the heart of a Capricorn . Giving from the heart and looking for nothing in return. He was a gentleman and a scholar. But don’t take his kindness for weakness, he would tell you like it was with no apologies. He is gone but won’t be forgotten. Just remember that he is in a better place , where there will be no more sorrows or pain. 
I am already missing you my friend but one of these days we will meet again in heaven where you belong.
Eric
