I love you daddy, I’ll miss you always, see you when I get there.
Our deepest sympathy to all the family. We have fond memories of our time spent as Members of the AAFES family. May God bless you and carry you through this time of sadness.
I have fond memories of my time hanging out at his home, as Greg and I were very close friends in high school (and still are). My thoughts are with you all during this difficult time.
The world feels so much smaller without him in it! I don’t have words to express how much he will be missed. He was one of the kindest men I’ve ever known. Truly a gentle giant of a man! God bless you all.
I knew Fuzzy through Karen his wife. He was very loving and kind and always wished I could find someone like him in my life. For a long time I never knew his name was Harry. He will be dearly missed by all who knew and worked with him. My prayers and thoughts are with his family at this time. He is in a special place and I know he is watching over his many friends and family.
