LEAD Story 313

Br. Harry grew up in Post-World War I Australia, which prepared him to enter the life of the Brothers. He joined the noviate in Sydney at the age of 18. After teacher for eight years in Australia, he would find himself in Malaysia. There, he would spend his teaching vocation in the Philippines until 2012.

Beyond being an excellent teacher and administrator, his ability to capture the hearts of his students and fellow teacher was immense--his students from Malaysia would continue to visit him in the Philippines. His passion for life was contagious and, for this, he was loved by everyone. His extraordinary life served as his final lesson: live humbly, love generously, and treat each day as a precious gift from God.
