Harry and Rhonda, I am so sorry to hear about your fathers passing. He was such a great man and friend. He and your mother were very special people. Glade I got to know both of them. Prays for Mr Harry and you and your families.

To the Harry Lorio Family:

I had the honor and pleasure of knowing Mr. Harry since 2004.  He was my next door neighbor!  Mr. Harry was always cheerful, caring, and pleasant!  I would often see him tinkering in his shed, fixing something around his house, or taking his usual walks in the neighborhood! Mr. Harry is the kind of neighbor you hope for when you move into a new neighborhood!  Heaven gained another angel and he's probably dancing with his wife, Diana!  My deepest sympathies and prayers are sent to his family!  God bless Mr. Harry and rest well dear one!

Harry hired me as a Salesman at Custom Hi-Fi on Vets & Ridgelake in Metairiw in the late 70s/early 80s.  I worked with Harry again for several years at Sound Trek.  He was always a kind, generous, and calm soul.  I consider it to be a privilage to have known him.  

My sincere condolences to the Lorio family for your loss.

Ferd and Paula, Ricky and I have you in our prayers. Not ever knowing your Dad, Ferd, I am sure we have all met part of him in you.  Any man's greatest legacy is the family he builds, and the bonds he forges. Your Dad lives on in you and your children.   God bless you all.

I worked with Harry in the early eights at Sound Trek.  Great guy and always worked hard for his family.  One day Harry came in and told us his daughter had been in a car accident and while she was OK, the car was totaled.  When I asked what he was going to do,Henry replied "I'm going to fix it".  He spent every night after work and his off days working on that car.  I inquired from time to time about progress and he filled me in until one day it was finished.  I was in awe of his ability, his steady demeanor, and his great dedication to his family.  He will be missed.

Paula just mentioned that your Dad has passed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Paula and the rest of your family.....Curt and Debbie Fordham

Harry and Rhonda, I am so very sorry for the loss of your father.  He was a great man that was admired by all that had the pleasure of meeting him.

A very nice man, someone I admired early in my sales career...and took his advice he shared with me to heart. He made me a better professional. He was one of those people you just enjoyed working with on those long days and nights on the sales floor. May he rest in peace. The world was a better place with Mr. Harry in it.

So sorry for your loss. Harry was a very nice man. Sending your family my thoughts and prayers.

I worked with Harry at Sound Trek and Campo for many years during the 80's & 90's. He was the nicest guy you ever met. God Bless.

Mary Lou and I were very sorry to learn of Harry's passing. As my other cousins have written, I also have very fond memories of Harry, George, Lee, and Corrine. Our prayers for his family.

Irwin Becnel, Jr. (Ti Dean)

Tommy Becnel, for  the  whole  Albert Becnel  family. I am so saddened by this news. I have such happy memories of all the uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters getting together when I was young. All of the brothers,  and Corrine, as well as Aunt Corrine and Uncle Lee were so loved. There is a space in my heart today. My prayers are with you. I believe that most of my relatives are feeling similar to me-many, many joyful memories. Celebrate a life well lived. 

May angels lead you into Paradise; may the martyrs receive you at your coming and lead you to the holy city of Jerusalem. May a choir of angels receive you, and with Lazarus, who once was poor, may you have eternal rest. Amen.

RIP my friend for 60 years. Met Harry at DLS High School and shared a friendship which will not be forgotten. Harry was my go-to electronics guru before stereo was invented. An honest and knowledgeable man with a big smile. God Bless and keep you and your family during this difficult time.

We are so sorry for your loss. We will keep everyone in our prayers during this difficult time. Gwen & Bruce Montz, Metairie, LA

My condolences to Harry's family. It has been some years since we have visited, but I have such good memories of the Lorio family and our visits. God bless all of you in your grief.

May you rest in peace Harry. I remember those wonderful visits with you, Lee, and George when we were young. I am sorry that my life was separated from you and yours, but God bless your survivors. LawLee

Rhonda and Harry, there are no words to describe losing the first person who loved you, loved you the most and was the 2nd most influential soul in your life (I think Diane was 1st!).  What I remember about Harry Sr. is humility and strength and laughter - and now it is your turn to carry on his legacy.  Your Daddy will be deeply missed but never forgotten.  Today, try to celebrate a life well lived  Stephanie Fretz Cormier  XOXOX
