I was a student of Mr. James' in the early 90's. He was a blast in class, even when we were a handful and our class almost always was. It's wonderful to read these memories of our math teacher. I never would have thought of him as a dancer, but I sure do hope that he's dancing in his cowboy boots in the sky. My condolences to all that loved him.

Harry was more than a neighbor to me. He became my family. He grew to be like an “Uncle” to me, my kids and my grands. Be the star that you are, Harry. We’ll see you again.

I have so many fun memories of Harry out on the dance floor bringing smiles to so many of his friends faces. He was such a little character who loved to tease and joke with everyone he met. I was one of those ladies who loved dancing with Harry. He taught me some of the disco and ballroom dance moves I never got to learn back in the 70's. He would often get the band's lead singer out on the dance floor for a special performance with him. We would all laugh and say, "only Harry". We all loved Harry and my heart is broken to know that I won't see him on the dance floor at Grindstone again but he will be there in our memories and spirit. Until we meet again my dear friend RIP. My deepest sympathy to Rose and Harry's family Debbie Ciprus
