Harry, Pat and Family,
I don’t know if you remember me, but I used to work at the Atlantic Beach Police Department and worked security for you at the Triple S Pier on weekends. I remember when your boys were just small children, so rambunctious and full of life. I am sorry for your loss and know it is so very hard to lose a child. Each of you will be in my thoughts and prayers and I hope God grants you strength and peace.
May God Be with your family.
No matter how high the mountain or how low you are in the valley
God has assured us that he will be with us. Put your trust in Him.
Will have your family in our prayers.

Pat, Harry and family, I’m so sorry to hear of Barry’s passing. My thoughts
and prayers are with each of you at this difficult time. I have missed you but
didn’t know where you moved to. I miss and often think of all the great time
we shared all those years ago (nearly 40). I spoke with Tootsie Vinson and
she also extends her thoughts and prayers to you from her home in Goldsboro. Tom’s been gone 11 years in a few days. Please feel free to call
on me for anything I can do for you at anytime from Pine Knoll Shores.
Harry and Pat, please accept our condolences on your loss. May God bring you all comfort during this sad time.
Harry and pat, I just wanted to say I’m so sorry to hear about Barry. I hope all is as well as can be expected. Such a sad time.
