Harry had several loves in his life.  He loved Linda, his wife of many years, and his two children, a daughter and son of whom he was so proud. And he felt really blessed to have lived long enough to know his two grand children. I know how much he loved his family as I became aquainted with Harry through our shared love of the game of golf.

Since Harry lived south of me, and since we played golf often on courses north of both residences, we very regularly  hooked up in my driveway early in the morning to drive together to our golfing destinations. Harry loved to talk about his family, his life in the USAF, and his golf game and so we shared those drives to the game talking of life, and life experiences.

I grew very fond of Harry and his family and I remember the pleasure of all those days of playing the game he and I loved. I shall hold dearly to the good memories of this very gentle man.  And I share with his family and friends the feelings of loss with great sympathy.

My prayer is for God's comfort and peace to be with us all as we deal with the loss of a good husband, father, grandfather and friend.



I met Harry in the mid 90's when we worked together at Special Operations Command in Tampa.  I worked with him again in 2002-2011 at CENTCOM. He was a great person to work with. Very organized and he knew his job well. If I needed something done, he would drop what he was doing to help me out.  Last time I saw Harry, was in the Commissary a couple years ago. He was with his wife and seemed to be enjoying retirement. I know he loved to golf, so the next time I'm out on the course, I'll be thinking of him.  RIP Harry.

I worked with Harry a few years at MacDill AFB with General Dynamics. He was so kind and nice. Plus he was a fellow New Englander and Red Sox fan like me. I thought the world of Harry. He was good at his job and was definitely an asset to the GD team at MacDill. He will be missed.
