Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. So many happy memories of Liston/Hogan family gatherings. My thoughts and prayers for Judy and the family.

  2. Judy and family,
    Ron and I have learned about the ultimate healing that comes when a loved one is finally released from the earthly travails. Indeed, the loss hurts, but the relief that comes. We learned to allow ourselves to be grateful for the relief.
    Blessings to you and your family in this difficult time.
    Cathy Brown

  3. Judy,
    We thought highly of Harry, and we really hated to hear of his passing. It’s wonderful that he found an enjoyable avocation and was able to express himself through acting. Our prayers go out to you and your family.
    Jon and Mary Estes

  4. Judy, I can speak for the rest of the members of Harry’s outfit in the Corps of Cadets (B-2) in saying that he was a great addition to the class of ’63 Buzzards (our outfit name). He had a great sense of humor and was a really neat guy to be around. I have passed along the news of his passing to all of the outfit members. We are all saddened for your loss as well as our loss of a great friend and “Ole Army Aggie Buddy”. Personally speaking, as a former Emmaus “Walker” Harry is surely in close council with Jesus Christ. He is at peace.
    We love you Harry

  5. Judy, I am greatly saddened by Harry’s passing. As a member of “B-2 Buzzard Company” Class of “63, I have many great memories of Harry and many other members of our class. I am sure many of our Aggie classmates will also be saddened by his passing. Our prayers and thoughts will be with you. May God be with you and your family during this sorrowful time.

  6. Judy, blessings and sweet thoughts to all you family. Harry and I go back a long way from Aggie freshman to church work at Trinity. Find some Peace today😇

  7. To Judy and and all your sweet family thoughts and prayers are with you. Harry and I go way back to being Aggie freshman to actively working at Trinity Church. What a special guy Harry was. Blessings.

  8. Judy,
    Harry was my roommate and fellow EE Major at A&M. Many fond memories of our times there. We pray that the Lord will give you comfort and peace as he has me after the recent passing of my wife in knowing that they both are celebrating with Jesus.

    Travis Carr
    Texas A&M Class of 63 and fellow B2 “Buzzard”

  9. Judy,
    So sorry to hear of Harry’s passing. This year would be the 63rd year of knowing him.
    So glad I got to to see him at the 50th Reunion, and my Judy got to meet him and you.
    You will be in my thoughts and prayers as Harry has been over the last several years.
    Heaven is even a sweeter place now. May he Rest In Peace.
    God bless you,
    Karl Miller
    Buzzard B-2 Brother
