Please accept my family's sympathy in the death of your father. My Daddy, Dr. Warren C. Hamby, was very fond of Harry. I can remember that in the not too distant past, your Dad would give my Dad clothing gifts like beautiful shirts and ties. Daddy was quite a clothes horse and sincerely appreciated your Dad's friendship. They are now in Heaven together showing off their golden robes!

Harry,

So sorry about the loss of your dad. Although I did not personally know him, I feel that I did because I have heard so many wonderful things about him from the Clinton family and from others in Sylacauga. I do know that a man who produced such a fine son as yourself had to be a terrific father, citizen and friend to all. I wish I could have been there, but a very bad cold would not have been a nice thing to share. God bless all of the family! Michael
