Shirley and the Inukai family, I was saddened to read in the newspaper today of the passing of Harry. Dave and I have many fond memories of Harry collecting items for resale, working out in the orchard, selling tofu, spending time with his dog, and driving around town. When Pine Grove had their annual auction, you knew where to find Harry. He loved to find good bargains. It was always fun to have Harry's sisters come visit the old homestead. We were fortunate to purchase the Tule Lake Directory from Harry when we all lived on the same property. Dave and I were excited to see that the Smithsonian Institute had it in their archives when we visited several years ago. We offer our sincerest condolences to your family during this time. Harry will be surely missed and was loved by all. He was a very special man. Love, David and Lori

Harry has been a family friend and a specially to my parents Miyozo and Masao Yumibe who lived on Dee Flat for over 40 years. Harry was well known to all the japanese community in Hood River. Again our condolence to Harry's family. George & Ileen Yumibe

Please accept my very sincere sympathies for your family's loss. Harry was a friend to all. I met him in the early 80's. He always had an interesting story to tell, or information to share. He educated me (more than any other source) regarding the interrment of the Japanese people during WW2. A few years ago, I stopped at a sale at Harry's, and found a set of dishes that matched my own. I was so happy with my 'find', and Harry was pretty tickled to be able to provide them for me. In recent years, we'd bump into each other at the Upper Valley Lion's Breakfasts. He never forgot me, and I will never forget him. He was a good guy.
