Deepest sympathy to Harry's family. I have fond memories of being reconnected with Harry at the time of our HS 50th reunion. After that a small group of Barton Grammar School/Calumet HS classmates met for lunch annually. That was such fun. Also, Harry became my e-mail pal in the last several years. He will be missed.
God Bless! Carol (Mueller) Heywood

My husband and I had the pleasure of knowing this kind man. We were school mates at Calumet High School and are sorry to learn that another "Calite" has passed. Surely he will be welcomed by all those who went before him. Please accept our sympathies. Bob and Beverly Creger

When my mom passed away, Harry accompanied Greg to my mom's visitation and had very kind and thoughtful words for my dad. My dad often mentions this, though my mom passed away almost ten years ago now. I think this really shows the kindness and consideration of the man. For Greg and your family, I hope you remember all the good things and it brings you a smile and helps you feel good about a life well-lived.
