My thoughts are with all of the Hanigans and friends for the loss of Harry. Harry was one of my customers for several years and then I worked for Hanley for 10 years. I, too, learned so much from him-especially the importance and value of people. He was heart-felt towards everyone and that is rare. He was and still is a role model for me...may God enjoy his company as much as we all did!!

We were very proud to have known Harry. It was very obvious at the chapel how much he was respected and loved by the number of visitors. The church service was very touching and beautiful.

I was saddened to read of Harry's passing. As a a former employee of Hanley Manufacturing, I couldn't have had a better employer. Harry was always concerned about others, a caring individual and a lot of fun to be around. He will be missed. My prayers are with your family at this trying time.

I am so saddened to hear about your father’s passing. Harry was always very kind to my family and I as well as all of the Hanley employee's. He was great man, I will never forget him. It was a pleasure to work for him and Hanley Mfg Co. for over 25 years. They were some of the best years I’ve ever had. With heart felt sympathy to you and your entire family, he will be missed by everyone that ever came in contact with him.

Dear Marie and Family,

My deepest sympathies to you and your children on the loss of Harry. I had the privilege of working for Harry for over 20 years and when I would describe him to people who didn’t know him I would say he was “the Dad everyone wished for, the friend everyone was grateful for.” He helped me in so many ways and taught me so much over the years and always did it with genuine kindness and a sense of humor. Through the years at Hanley there were many faces that came and went, but as in any industry, you continue to meet and see them. I can’t tell you how many people, even as recently as last week, asked me “How’s Harry doing?” There will be many prayers offered for him and for you, for Brian, Mary Beth, Dan, Maureen, Bob and Carol and for all those whose lives he touched and were left all the better for it. He will be greatly missed.
