Always in my heart.
Harry was my high school sweetheart, fiancee and soul mate. He always had a lot of energy and was a lot of fun to be with. I have missed him for a long time.

Harry was a young kid and had everything, tall blond good looking and once you met him you do not forget. RIP Harry.

I was a friend of Harry at Carey H.S. We ate lunch together every day. I lost track of him after graduation. Years later I heard that he was a casualty of war, but I never really believed it until I looked his name up on the "Virtual Wall".
I am now really mourning him for the first time, 35 years later. Harry and I were never close, just high school chums. I always thought that he was a nice guy. I miss him.
