Patty & Family,
Just heard about Harry's passing. Gave my Mom & Dad (Frank & Edith Paluso) many laughs and brought so much laughter to Burgener Blvd.
Much love to you and your family.

Mr. Snowden, as we always addressed him, was one of the most gentle and inspirational men I remember from grade-school days and beyond, and time spent with Harry Mark, Bob and all the other ocean-oriented kids at the Snowden home was made special by his presence. Sail on Captain.

Please accept my heartfelt condolences. I loved and admired Harry. It was a privilege to know him. He was a kind and generous man with a great sense of humor. He will be missed by many.

I think of Harry every time I look out the kitchen window and see the doghouse he made for Bosco so many years ago. Thurman has lost a good friend. Thurman's sister Norma Johnson

The Smowden's were family friends of my parents since early navy day. I have remembered him fondly since I was a small boy. I'm sure if there's an O-Club in heaven Harry and Joe are there. May he rest in peace forever.

Pat - sorry for your loss of your husband. My parents talked about what a great person Harry was and how he helped them out so many times. I've heard a few stories but I'm sure not all of the great things he did for our family. You both meant a lot to my parents since you are my godmother. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I was so sorry to read the passage of 'Harry'. He was so kind to me when I would arrive to provide Physical Therapy for his wife. After reading all that he did for his country, I will add humble and courageous. Glad to have known you Mr. Snowden. Nancy
