Dear Melanie and Barry, my sincere condolences are being sent to you on the passing of your beloved father. My condolences also to the extended family. I remember Harry as a dynamic, amiable, dedicated individual and a champion of so many good things in his role in government and in our church. My father, Michael Economou, always spoke very highly of him, too. Perhaps they are sharing a hug in Heaven now. I wish I could attend the services and personally share my condolences with you, but I am living in California. If possible, when things settle down, please feel free to email me so that I can stay in touch with both of you. I lost track of you through the years. God Bless Harry and his wonderful legacy that he left on Earth. He touched the lives of many people in a most positive way. May he rest in peace, and may you and the rest of the family find comfort in knowing that he will be missed by many. May his memory be eternal.
