algy Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Thought I would let you know, Harry is in Warrington Hospital and according to his son Peter who posted on Facebook today Harry is very poorly but just about hanging on, lets hope the old timer pulls through and makes a full recovery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 So very sad to hear that Harry is very poorly and in hospital He's such a lovely chap. I've only ever met Harry once in person when I went to pick up some of his poetry books that he kindly gave me but he's left a lasting impression on me, of course we have often chatted on here [the forum] too and via personal forum messenger. What a true gent he is and such a lovely and genuine person not to mention his great sense humor and his many tales and fascinating memories he has too....and his lovely way with words through his poetry too which many will have seen on here over the yearsStay strong and please get well soon Harry, big hugs to you my friend x x x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

algy Posted January 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 Harry's son Peter posted yesterday to say that - " He's still with us but struggling. Able to scan his facebook but not type. If you want to be kept informed of any news, drop me an email at <peterjameshayes@gmail.com> and I'll send a circular as appropriate. In his usual style, he asks for "no more grapes"! Harry has still got his sense of humour, Bless him!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 Thanks for the update Algy. I'm not friends with Harry on facebook which is shame as I'd love to be able to post a little message on his page for him to see. Have you asked his son to let Harry know we are all thinking of him on here and wishing him well x x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Oh my goodness that is so very sad :( I'm sat here typing through tears now Harry was such a lovely man. I went to his house once and we spent ages chatting. He was an absolute gem and a real gent. He had a cracking sense of humor and I was enthralled by all the stories and memories he talked about both then on my visit and of course on the forum too. I have to say he was a lot taller that I ever imagined him to be though, well over 6 foot. Glad he sat down when I went round or I'd have had neck ache.....I have copies of all the wonderful poetry books he wrote and his latest one about his time on the police force too. All are fab to read but then Harry had a fab way with words.He used to sign them all and put funny little vouchers in them with messages on for me especially if he posted me one. Always used to make me giggle when I got one.RIP Harry and thanks for all the lovely memories and words....... 'Happy Days' my friend x x x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hill Cliffe walker Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 The following message was received from Harry's son, Peter, yesterday - 'We've finally got details of Dad's funeral arranged.Thursday 23rd Feb12:00 noon at Grappenhall Independent Methodist Church WA4 2LN. (the one on the Knutsford Road, just up from the Fir Grove hotel).Then 1pm at Walton Lea Crematorium WA4 6TB.Family flowers only. Donations to St Rocco's Hospice, Warrington.He always joked that "the number of people attending your funeral depends solely on the weather" so your attendance to prove him wrong would be welcomed.Please share this post as you are able to spread the word as widely as possible. Thank you.' I am sure that our thoughts are with his family and friends at this time. He will be sadly missed by many !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
