I remember Harry around the firehouse in Odessa, Harry was very active both on the fire grounds, helping the ladies in the kitchen and helping take care of the 1926 Hale antique. Everybody liked Harry never said a bad word about anybody and very quiet. We were sorry to see Harry move away, he will be sadly missed,RIP Harry

I remember all the rides in the firetrucks I remember him coming to my school and showing us how to work the fire hoses. I remember a lot of stuff from my childhood with him. I always knew I could count on him when I need him the most I love you, dad and I always will
