Cliff Hattan

We will really miss Harry. We knew he was not doing well when we stopped hearing from you on the computer. We would really like to have your address, Pat, so we can write more. Cliff is remembering him as a wonderful father and a great teacher. He taught him so much about bricklaying and more important about life. He knew how much he idolized you and the kids and grandkids. He took care of Cliff's father when he was a bricklayer later in life. cliff can still see him eating the celery and peanut butter and peeling the apple at lunch time. He was a complete gentleman. Everyone loved him Could you please contact us at [email protected] or 618-416-1307? Or, our address is 609 Leighigh Swansea IL 62226. You are very much in our thoughts right now.
