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.
Mr James had a significant impact on me as an athlete but more importantly as a person. My condolences to his family.
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.
Mr James was the 7th grade football coach. he helped me for preparing later in life when I joined the Marine Corps
Rose, so sorry for your loss. Harry was always so supportive and such a great addition to the Murder Mystery casts at the Metro Parks
So sorry Rose, to hear about Harry's passing away. He was very nice man and I enjoyed talking to him. He will be missed at the Blue Sky lunch group. With sympathy, Louie's sister, Linda Nagy.
Harry was an extremely talented actor in many Carlisle reservation murder mysterie even if he ad libbed a lot! Ginger and I always laughed so much. He will be GREATLY missed.
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
We have a lot of great memories listening to music and dancing along with Harry and Rose. Harry had a very big heart and a great sense of humor. He will surely be missed and thought about for a lot of years. God bless you both, Harry and Rose!
