Harry and my father Galen Fitzwater use to jump together at Ft Campbell, KY. I have so many fond memories of Uncle Harry. Whenever my father and him would skydive I was always at the DZ waiting on them. Harry used to say that I was the Jump Club’s mascot. He and my father would put me in a rig attached to the ceiling and I would hang there for hours, that’s where I would take my naps. They would feed me pizza crust and I would be perfectly content. Uncle Harry and I took a trip in ‘96 to Ft Bragg to see my father who was having surgery on his shoulder. Uncle Harry dubbed me the nava-guesser. He’s the only reason I can read a map to this day. I have so many more stories that I could tell about Uncle Harry, but they all still come to the same conclusion. Harry was a good man, I loved him as if he were my blood Uncle. Its funny how the ARMY can give you so many family members. I will miss him dearly.

Harry was my uncle and I loved as a little kid watching him jump at my parents house every 4th. Due to things out of my control I lost contact with him severl years ago and just a few weeks ago I found out that he was in VA. I was working on a letter to him to let him know that I was thinking about him and last night my brother came to tell me the bad news. I know that he was doing what he loved. I think I was the only 3 year old to know how to pack a chute.

Harry ran my very first JM class at Ft. Campbell KY. The methods and comments he made 15 years ago, I use now when I train new instructors. His manner and methods he used then live on through me in the new students and instructors I train.
