Harry was a good friend and a neighbor with his shop across the road from me. We would talk for hours about nothing and just enjoyed each others company. There was quite often time for breakfast at the Headingly grill and we could talk for hours there as well. We both could be counted on to help each other and I will miss him dearly. To all friends and family of Harry, I offer my sincerest condolences and best wishes. He was a good man, friend and neighbor to me. Rest in peace my friend. - Posted by: Shawn Wedge (Friend) on: May 11, 2017

Family, friends and I shared many great times with a ton of laughs, friendship, B.S. and the occasional beverage with Harry. Harry was at his best when enjoying the cottage life and the outdoors. His family was his pride and joy and talked about his grandchildren with great pride. Forever remembered as "Harry Boat-Sank" as his last name was too hard to figure out, he will be greatly missed by all of us that came to know him. Cuervo Creek will never be the same without him and will be the site of a toast in his honor this winter. Rest in Peace Harry. - Posted by: Wayne Shotton (Friend) on: May 10, 2017

I am sorry for your loss. Harry was a wonderful, warm, friendly person. I knew him from the housebuilding industry. He did all of the finishing in the houses that my father built for a number of years. He was the ultimate craftsman. Rest in peace Harry. - Posted by: Ed Bailey (Former acquaintance in the housebuilding industry. ) on: May 07, 2017

I remember Harry very well. There was a bunch of us that used to have coffee and breakfast at the Gulf coffee shop on Cavalier and Portage back in the 70's. He was a great guy and a pleasure to talk to. - Posted by: Russ (acquaintance) on: May 07, 2017
