I will always remember Uncle Harry as a sweet soul who loved his Lord. We didn’t get to visit with him much over the years but he made an impact on me. My dear uncle, I know you are with Jesus and your loved ones.
I always looked forward to the Sunday afternoons when uncle Harry would come visit us and bring us fish from his fishing trips. He would ask us to sing for him while my sister played the piano. He loved talking about church and family. He was a kind soul and I will cherish those memories.

This picture brings me such sweet memories of Harry Wilson. At church he would get up to sing and he would “glow”! He was excited and filled with an energy to share Jesus….it was beautiful! Over and over and down through the years he continued in his quiet, kind way to shine for Jesus. Welcome home Harry!
I have great sympathy with you and your family. Linda
