Ann,
Please accept our deepest sympathy . Harry was one of the very first boat reps I ever met back in 1978. He became a trusted confidant and super boat Rep buddy. His wisdom and intellect was only matched by his great big heart and his off the chart sense of humor. You and Harry and your entire family will remain in our thoughts and prayers.
With love,
Eric, Denise, Eric Jr. and Kurt Wonderlich

Susan Kisler (Susie)and family,
I was saddened to see that Harry had passed away. I had recently been talking with someone who used to shoot with Harry years ago. Please remember that I will be thinking of you and all your family members during this difficult time.
From an old classmate,

I know your heart is heavy with the loss of Harry. He left you all with happy memories of many good times. Harry brought joy into my home when visiting his sweet sister here in Florida. What a joy to be around. Thank you Harry, for being a wonderful brother to my best friend!

Very sad to hear of his passing. Harry was a close family friend for many years and is largely responsible for my introduction to the sport of trapshooting. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
