I am so very sorry to hear of Harmon's passing. May God comfort, give strength, courage, peace & serenity to Gracie, Karen, Michelle & the entire family during this time of sorrow.

Harmon was a wonderful man, a true mentor for me @ Heilig-Meyers & a friend. I saw him just what seemed to be a few months ago @ Aker's Pharmacy and he was his jovial, laughing self. Cutting up & joking with everyone around him, including me. Harmon was a truly wonderful & caring man, sincerely faithful to his Maker. He will be deeply missed. God bless you all, now & forever...
