It was my honor to replace Harry in England on my first tour overseas. I got to play ball with him a bit before his reassignment and he was wicked good. While our paths did not cross a lot after that I followed his career and respected his service to our country. My condolences to his family. Bob Claymier

I thought I left a condolence a few days ago,..but maybe too long. Rest well my friend, no more pain or suffering. Serving on 3 ships together so very long ago we've had some great memories and you've become a great loving and caring husband, father, and grandparent,..so many more to miss all that you brought to the table. My heartfelt condolences to your family, from a very long time Navy Bud.

SOOO very sad to hear the news. Harry Wicht was truly one-of-a-kind and although it had been many years since I last saw him, his sense of humor and wit will stay with me forever.

For many years, Harry was an intrical part of the WVFC. I have many great memories of Harry from that time in our lives. He always had a great sense of humor.

Harry and I were roomates for 3 yrs in college. He was a character as well as a friend and always kept everyone laughing. When we graduated we split a colorful rock in half as a remembrance of our time together. Harry, I still have my 1/2 and hope we get to match them up again in the hereafter.
