Very sorry to hear of Harry's passing.  My thoughts and best wishes go out to his family.  He was alway very helpful and kind to me during my Grainger visits to his area.  My favorite district manager with the Company.

My heartfelt condolences to Harry's family. Harry was a good friend and colleague of mine for many years as part of my Grainger family. He was truly one of the "good ones". We had some great times together (ones that I will never forget).  "Hey, Hey looky here....may you spend that $10 bill in heaven, Harry!

My husband and I sat two rows behind Harry at the UGA football games.We could always find our seats because we looked for his red jacket and hat. We always visited before the games started. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers during this time. Michael and Dorann Mansberger

Saddened to hear of Harry's passing.  He was one of the very few people who could be a boss and a friend at the same time.  Harry had style, grace, and an easy manner that endeared him to everyone.  If people had a crowd of people to hang around with, they always sought out Harry.  He will be missed as a friend and a mentor.  May you rest in the peace that you gave to others.

I am sorry to here of the loss of Harry. I worked with him when he was the manager at Columbia, SC. Even after more than 25 years since he left here those of us that still work here  still talk about what a great manager he was.  It was a blessing knowing Harry and his family. My prayers are with all of his family during this difficult time.

I am sorry to learn of Harry's passing. I worked with him when he was the manager at Columbia, SC. We here at Columbia still talk about what a good manager he was. Even though it has been over 25 years since he left here he would still sometimes email me to see how things were here in Columbia. My prayers are with his family during this time.

Harry was a kind and lovely man who taught me the importance of watching the Bulldogs warm up before a game. He was an avid supporter of all that he loved whether it was his beloved family or a sports team.

My condolences in the loss of Harry, He was a nice fellow as a classmate and was good to see him at the class reunion this year. R.I.P May God comfort his family and friends during this difficult time.

After over 50 years, I had the pleasure of re-connecting with Harry via a Gentian elementary reunion, and more recently the 50th JVHS reunion.  I enjoyed his face book posts, which almost always included his family. Glad I was able to know him again, and so sad to hear of his untimely death.

I worked with him at Grainger's.  He was exceedingly nice to me and everyone. So sorry for your loss.  He will be missed.

Had the pleasure of knowing and working with Harry at the Jax DC. What a hoot he was. RIP my friend.
