In Loving Memory


I have such fond and wonderful memories of my childhood and growing up with my Uncle Harry. As a child, our families were always together and we as children had such great times in my backyard and at Uncle Harry's and Aunt Betty's. There was never a holiday that we weren't together at either house, joined in with all of Uncle Sud's and Aunt Olga's kiddos too. What great memories. And then as happens - families grow, grandkids come along and seeing each other becomes too far and in between. But the love and memories always remain. But again in the late 90's/early 2000 we had some fun trips. Uncle Harry and my dad started going to Las Vegas with myself and a group of friends. So many, many laughs were shared and again, new memories made. Oooooh Harry and Joe....don't know if heaven is ready for that combination...throw Uncle Sud in the mix and let the fun begin. Oooooh! We surely miss you all and you remain in our hearts forever.

With Much Love and Sadness that you are gone,
Dottie (Migut-Belonzi)

My family has my deepest sympathy for the loss of Uncle Harry. I fondly remember him as a happy and fun guy! I apologize for my absence at this difficult time. However, my thoughts and prayers are with you all!
Love,

oldest daughter of Sylvia (Lemanski) Stillwagon

Harry was fine person. His 43 years at Ellwood City Forge Company was a wonderful example of good workmanship and dedicated employment. He set the standard for others in many ways. He was well liked by everyone and a fine family man. We will certainly miss him.
