To Janet and the Haigood family.
I first met Harry at CBS in 1964. I was impressed by his well manner and classy appearence.Harry and I became close friends over those years. Living only a few blocks apart in Guttenburgh,NJ. We bought our 280Z's at the same time and traveled together to the airport on sports remotes. I last spoke to Harry about a year and a half ago. I was in Palm Springs and not knowing where Harry lived, by the intervention of God I pick up the phone book and there he was. I called and left a message and by the time Harry got back to me I was already back in NJ. He went to Las Vegas to celebrate a friend being cancer free for five years. That was Harry always thoughtful. I will miss him dearly.

Janet, children, grandchildren,

No amount of time can change the memories that sprinkle sunshine inside our hearts and illuminate our lives.

The moments cherished in a lifetime become precious memories and will live forever in our hearts.

Godfather, I will miss your visits to S.C. It was always a pleasure for me to prepare for you and Janet, an old southern home cooked meal like mama,Helen,Louie,and Florera used to cook for you. They "spoiled you", and I picked up the torch, love you with all my heart.
With deepest sympathy,your Godchild,

Dear Janet, thank you for giving me the opportunity to be with you today.
You don't know how much this day ment to me. I know Harry is having fun with Nick, they are either salmon fishing in Oregon or playing golf. "Harry you left a big empty space in our hearts". Janet, may the Lord give you all the comfort you need. Love you

Even though our hearts are heavy, let us give God thanks for the time Uncle spent with us. Uncle Harry's life was one that was "WELL" lived and truly a "Hole in One".
