We are so sorry to hear about Harry . Our prayers and love to his family and all those who loved him . My husband and I lived in Golden tree apartments just two door from Harry In 2018 to 2019 . He immediately became a friend that entertained us with his stories and his contagious laugh . He took my husband to the doctor a as few times when he injured himself on the job and rescued me when I lost my motorcycle keys . You could always rely on Harry . We got to enjoy a few Wings hockey games and whitecaps baseball games with him and his good friend Kindaalso our neighbor . . He was awesome company . We felt we knew him our whole lives . Everyone loved Harry in our apartment complex . He was such a good man and we will miss him Very much . Rest with Jesus good friend . Enjoy the rivers of Eternal life. Much love .Bob and Carol Dornhecker .

So sorry to hear of Harry’s death, he has my dear friend of over 25 years! He was a sweet man, we went to dinner often together and to the casinos years ago. Sandy and Harry were such good friends, we made many 3 couple trips in our vans all over Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois , Tennessee, Mississippi and even Hawaii. He will not be forgotten by me. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of his family.

Terri, Becky, Diana & Dan you are all in my thoughts . I have so many wonderful memories of having your Dad as my softball coach. He had an infectious laugh and a generous heart. I will miss him & his “Hey kid” when I would run into him later in life. Peace be with you Mr. Hicks….❤️
