Dear Jane,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. It was always Jane and Harry everywhere ws went among the Shell family. You two were so happy together and brightened every event.

Dean and I did not hear of his passing. We were out of the city the end of January to the end of May while our house was being renovated and barely returned when Dean left us. Now, both you and I are embarking on a new and different chapter of life. Good wishes in your journey. I will think of you often.
Love,
Dot Vander Stoep

Jane, I just found out last week after everything was said and done. I'm so sorry to hear about this. I can still hear Harry's voice at St. Laurence asking me if I knew how to say Harry and Jane. :-) Once I was married and had kids, calling y'all Mr. and Mrs. wasn't going to cut it anymore.

I'm so sorry.

A good man goes to his reward but I am sure you will miss him. Memories of Harry always bring a smile to my face.

Dear Jane, my deepest condolences on your loss.
As you remember, Harry was my godfather, and I have only the best memories of him when I was a little kid and later on too. My parents would take me over to Harry Sr. & Agnes' duplex on Devonshire and Harry Jr. Would come by and give me one of his wood WW2 airplanes that he had made. Years later when Harry was in St Louis, we would visit.

My sincere regards,
Brian Casey

Harry was, in all things, a gentleman. In my own 35 years at Shell, he is in a tie for my favorite manager. His concern for those around him, his desire to be a mentor, was genuine.
