Harry, you and all your family are in our thoughts and prayers Fred thought the world of you all. So many maritime-related memories, especially with you, Harry. Being a "latecomer", I did not know you nearly as well, but felt a kinship through Fred's many references. His great respect for you came through loud and clear. I am so sorry we cannot be with you today. Blessings and big hugs, Fred and Joyce Wichmann
