Harry was a true gentleman. Having the chance to talk with him was great in the sense that he would treat you as a friend. I miss that that compassion. Rest well Harry.

Harry was always a gentleman. One thing that always made me smile about Harry was that he wouldn&&single&&t go through a doorway before a lady right up until the end. He also had such an infectious smile. It was always nice seeing Harry around his family when you&&single&&d come to visit with him at Huronview. Great memories of Harry or should I say “Mr. Scott” from my days at SDHS. He will be missed.

My sincerest sympathy to Harry&&single&&s family and close friends. My sympathy to all of us because Harry truly was a great gentleman, a character and a Seaforthian. He was always happy and smiling and made you feel special just to know him. As a neighbour, a teacher, a principal, and an ambassador for Seaforth and even Canada, he will be missed by all. We look forward to celebrating his life on June 2 at the golf club….I think his only fault was that he didn&&single&&t golf…perhaps he was the smarter one!
