Eternal Peace- Harry Short

Recommended Posts

On April 11 2009 Our family lost a member of outstanding stature.
Harry our memories of you smiling face and willingness to help will never be forgotten.
Rarely in life do we have the honor of meeting someone who makes us feel so welcome. Your ability to make students and their families comfortable and happy is something we should all strive to learn. Your thoughtfulness and shared excitement for everyone around you was unmatched by any other person I know.
I am saddened by the thought that we cannot share our stories of encouragement with each other any longer, but I am very happy that I have had the opportunity to learn from you what it truly means to be a friend.

Peace be with you and all those you have touched!

I miss you man! Harry had such a passion to this sport. He encouraged many tandem students to continue with the sport. Some did because they saw how happy the sport made him. He was full of energy and always eager to help out of our new dz at Start. He gave me a place to stay when I couldn't afford anything. He always supported everything I did. We love you Harry and I know I will always miss you!

I don't think I can say it better than Gila already did.

I remember how special Harry made everyone feel. He put his heart and soul in to each day, each student, each load, each jump. I'll never forget watching him learn to fly in the tunnel. He accomplished so much in such a short period of time.

My thoughts are with his family. Harry will be missed!

Very well said Scott.

Harry always worked hard to keep the Staff, Students and Thier Family informed and upbeat, he really did a great job for us. He was always fun to be around and hang out with. I enjoyed our talks, about any thing and every thing, after a full fun day of jumping.

Fly free Harry!
I will miss you my friend.

High Flight
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up the long delirious, burning blue,
I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew -
And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high untresspassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand and touched the face of God.

Harry, we will miss you so much, you were an inspiration and an amazing friend. I grew up skydiving with you and will hold those memories close to my heart forever. BSBD
Love Always and Forever,
Sallie and John
