Cheryl and family-
I am so sorry to hear about Harry passing on. I always thought of Harry as a grandfather. He always had a smile on his face. We shared alot of good stories. He will be missed by many. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
I have so many fun stories and fantastic memories of my Grandpa Harry. In fact, I could write all day about the time I shared with him. I am going to miss his laugh, his smile, and hearing him say my name the most.
I am so lucky to have had Grandpa Harry in my life so long. I loved hearing his stories and just being in his company. He was very important to a lot of people and made an impact on everyone that met him in his very long life.
I will miss you Grandpa Harry!
When Harry retired, alot of history was lost on mainstreet. No more Harry’s barbershop where the guys would gather to talk over the days happenings. The guys could get their hair cut and pick up the dry cleaning at the same time. Harry was so appreciated for all the time he spent cutting hair at the Manor as well. We enjoyed his birthday party in Seneca and he enjoyed visiting with all the guests and talking old times! We will miss Harry with his perfect haircut and grooming and his nice smile.
CHERYL AND FAMILY:
MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU ALL. I KNOW MY OWN DAD, WOULD GO TO NONE OTHER THEN “HARRY’S BARBER!”
My Dad, Vergil H. Worm talked about the good times he had going to Harry’s shop even after he moved to CA before he passed. Yes I even had a few cuts at Harry’s shop also. A barber we will always remember.
Cheryl, Marlene and Families
My grandmother, Winetta Tompkins Pike, always had such good things to say about Harry & Alberta. They were always there to give her a helping hand, share vegetables from their garden or just have a good visit. Harry gave my son his first haircut shortly before he retired. It was so amazing to watch him with this squirmy little guy, the scissors were moving so fast and the haircut turned out beautifully! I pray that your good memories will give you comfort in the days ahead.

Extending deepest sympathy to all of the Hulet Family.

Hulet family,
So sorry to hear about the loss of Harry. Our son, Jace, had him for his resident at the manor a couple years ago. Harry taught him how to play cards and they always had a good time. Harry used to tell him stories about Seneca, and being an Everson, Jace thought that was cool. Deepest sympathy, Pat & Barb Everson
I have many wonderful memories of Grandpa Harry. He was a kind and loving to all. He made me always feel welcome in his family. I will truly miss him. My condolences to all his family and friends.
Harry gave me my first hair cut and many more growing up. I always remember that I got a treat afterwards. I’ll always remember him.
After my Dad, Mert, stopped cutting our hair he took us to Harry’s Barber Shop.
I have the fondest memories of those many years in the chair with Harry. Especially when I graduated to the warm foam and razor. All those years without a nick. 🙂
Harry always had a story and always had a smile.
My deepest sympathies to your family on your loss. My prayers are with you.
