Our Thoughts and Prayers are with you at this difficult time.
Many years ago when I was right out of high school, at the age of 17, Harry and I worked together for 3 years at what was then called Midland Trucking. We sure had a great time working together and Harry sure made a lasting impression on me! In those days we all smoked at our desks! Harry told me about his injuries and experiences in the war and about his lovely wife and kids. He threw in the odd colourful joke and sometimes shocked me as a young girl! It was my first job as an "adult" and I couldn't have had a better partner to work with. So sorry to hear about his passing, but not surprised to hear that he made it to 95. One of my favourite stories of his was of him driving on the highway and refusing to move over so a group of bikers could pass by. Stubborn! My condolences to all of his family. Pam Litowski
