Harry as a young Corpsman on duty at Bainbridge. This was the Zumwalt era and grooming standards were in flux.

I found these slides taken in 1971, Standing duty in the Dispensary in Naval Training Center, Bainbridge, MD. We were clowning around. I don't remember what we "liked," only that there was a three monkeys spin on it.

Our world lost a wonderful man, and heaven gained a beautiful angel.  We will forever be grateful for the time we had to have Harry on this earth.  And we pray for the comfort and strength for the family and friends of Harry.  We are truly sorry for your loss.

Served with Harry at the Naval Dispensary in Bainbridge, MD early 71-72. Great fun loving guy with a kindness towards all.

Harry was one of my oldest friends, from the day we met as young Hospital Apprentices at St Albans Naval Hospital in Queens in 1970. A few months later we were both transferred to Naval Training Center, Bainbridge, MD, to work in the Station Hospital. Through Facebook, we reconnected some years ago. Harry was dedicated to helping veterans. It became his life's work. He was my good friend and a great man. Rest in peace, shipmate.

Harry was so kind to me.  I will truly miss him.  Prayers for my friend.🙏🏼🫡 

Deepest sympathy to Harry's family who were his world.
Harry will always be remembered, as all who knew him will recall 
the memories of his life as it touched theirs in so many ways.
I will remember you always.
Good Bye - My Dear Friend

While working at the Veterans One Stop, Harry encouraged me to file a claim with the VA for MST.  He was one of a kind, and I am blessed to have had him alongside me during the whole examination process. I’m now 100% T&P because of his support and due diligence. He literally changed my life completely. I love you Harry. You’ll be greatly missed. 💔

Harry was always genuine and a very special human being, someone you could be proud to call your friend.  We worked in different offices but was part the NY NSO'S that cared for others.  If you knew Harry, your life was better for sharing your life with his.  My deepest sympathy to his family, he touched of all in a special way.

My memories of Harry Schultz started six months ago over a phone call 750 miles away. We talked for a hour not only about what was available to me as a disabled Veteran, but life, family life. Love of brothers, sisters, brother in laws and his fur baby. Over that six months, Harry became more family to my wife and I then a Veterans Advocate. I will miss his positive attitude, his jokes and most of all his friendship. Rest In Peace my friend.

“Harry was a veteran of the US Navy.”  Oh my dear friend Harry, you were so much more than just a Navy veteran.  You devoted your life to improving the physical, mental and social health of thousands of veterans and their dependents across New York State.  Your work will be missed, but much more than that you will be missed.  I am truly honored that Harry considered me not only as a colleague but also as a friend.  My deepest sympathies to Kathy and the rest of the Schultz family.

My cousin Harry was a kind soul.  When I think of him I think of the person in our family whose intention it was to keep us together.  He devoted his life to charitable work to assist Veterans and was passionate about it.  He will be missed by all who knew him.

Harold Edward Schultz,

 I did not know you all that long but you did so much good for so many people. Anyone that knew you or worked with you could see just how much you cared about helping veterans and their families. Til the very end of your life you were actively contributing to veteran initiatives while still also advocating for the various needs of anyone that served this country. You made an impression upon many, and you will be dearly, dearly missed. Your impact has been felt by countless people throughout Western New York and elsewhere I’m sure. Hell, even your last few Facebook posts were either about your love for your family or spreading  awareness on veteran and service members stories and resources. I will never forget your childish, and sometimes inappropriate sense of humor!  But the thing that always, ALWAYS stood out to me, and I'm sure can be confirmed by others, was your continued presence and commitment to helping people both inside and outside of the veteran community realize the struggles that veterans face and that there are always people that can help. You will be surely missed by anyone lucky enough to meet you, let alone anyone who got to spend any significant amount of time  with you. 

 I am extremely grateful and glad that I was able to get to know you in some capacity, and in your memory I along with others who understood your life’s work will continue to educate, advocate and support the work you started and the values you stood for. 

I am so saddened by this loss. I have very fond memories of Harry. I had many interactions with him when he worked for the DAV in Syracuse, NY. I was a PTSD counselor at the Syracuse Vet Center which meant I worked closely with Harry in helping Veterans. I know he continued his work with Vets when he moved to Western NY.  He will be so missed. Sincere condolences to his family. I hope you find comfort in sweet memories.
