Dear Aunty Heather, Lorraine, Melvyn & Astrid, Audrey & Rob, and families,
Please accept our deep condolences on the passing of Uncle Harry. He was a jewel of a person and a kind and gentle soul. He had a quiet sense of humour and always had this twinkle in his eye.
I have fond memories of Uncle Harry, having grown up in Karachi, and spending the days in your house in Miranda Compound. He was always kind and welcoming.
And while he has passed, it is obvious that he still lives on in the hearts of the gentle and caring family he has left behind.
May he be at peace and may you all find comfort and solace at this time.
My Deepest sympathy goes out to you Heather and your Beautiful Family.
Harry was very Brilliant, Caring and Loving.
He brought sunshine and Joy wherever he went.
May His Soul Rest in Peace.

He was a quiet dignified loving compassionate caring and jovial man. He has help me and (Jerome) and our family many times both in Canada and NJ. Our kids enjoyed his company. Aunty Heather you have been a staunch support to Uncle and to all of us.
My most delight recent memory was when we met uncle and he wanted to eat the bindi Karoo I ly. Aunty told him – have it after dinner and he smiled. He delightfully had a little wine together (to Aunty’s surprise) and he enjoyed. Then I quietly slipped the bindi Karoo I to his plate and he enjoyed it with a smile
We will always remember you and love you forever
