My condolances to the Lancour family.
I remember Harry as the bus driver. I never heard him speak. He was quiet but seemed to get along with all the students.

My sincere sympathy to Jean & all of Harry’s family.
I remember Harry as the best bus driver, ever. My Mom told me that when I started kindergarten, I was so little, I had a hard time getting up the steps of the bus. Harry would always help me! 🙂 He was such a kind man. God Bless him.

Jean and all of Harry’s Family, I will always remember Harry for his dancing eyes. He was not mych of a talker but all of us bus drivers loved him dearly. Harry’s eyes said a lot, they were beautiful. I enjoyed working with him for 23 years until I retired. Jean and family you have my greatest sympathy at the loss of such a wonderful man. Jean I will also remember how you would want to go on a trip with Harry and he would not leave his cows. He will be sadly missed by many people. Me included. Linda Lamberg- Erickson Ps. Sorry Al and I could not be there as we both have the bug that is going around. I hope you will understand. Linda

Harry was a farmer almost until the end. It was the life he knew the best. We will remember Harry in these later years at the campground after the chores.
We will hold Jean and the family in our prayers.
