I am sorry for your family's loss. I enjoyed working with Harry. I will remember your family in my prayers.

March 3, 2013

We were so very sad to hear of Harry's passing. He was an amazing "landlord" and Poppy! He treated us and Clare like we were his own. We have so many wonderful memories of living on Artesian with the best neighbors ever. Please accept our heartfelt sympathies. Harry was the Real Deal! A good, decent, hard-working man. The example by which he led his life taught all those around him. We were blessed to know him. Peace to all The Benson children and grandchildren.

May he rest in peace. I am sure he has already been welcomed by Gerda (Ma) and Carl (Pa) Johnson.
