To all the family we are so sorry for your loss. Our prayers and thoughts will be with you all. It was an honor to have known Harry he was part of our family too we love him may his soul rest in peace. Love Carmen and Freddy.
He was always filled with laughter and fun; quick to a joke and always had a good story at hand. He was kind and compassionate and welcomed me as part of the family. He will be missed!
We’re so sorry that Harry Kulp passed away and is gone with Jesus in heaven. We never forget that he always talk and talk with his lovely sister Geneva joking and make everybody laugh out loudly we notice in our old big house in Barto when we live there. In our heart we miss him.
Our sincerest condolences on the passing of Uncle Harry. He was a very special person to all who knew him. I have many fond memories. Sending prayers and love to Aunt Leah & the family. Love, Phil, Vicki, & Family
Sorry for your loss. Thinking of all of you!
Sending hugs and love from VA.
Will, Kayla and Austin:
I am very sorry to hear about your loss. You and your loved ones will be in my thoughts and prayers.💜
I’m going to miss you Harry, you and Leah were like my 2nd mom and dad. I loved teasing both of you about adopting me. I hope to see you on the other side. Give Robin a big hug from me. I’m moving back to PA in May, I wish it was sooner so I could attend your service 😔
So sorry to hear of Harry’s passing. When I’d see him outside in his yard or at the picnic table, I’d stop to chat and reminisce. I will never forget these times. Harry and Leah were great neighbors to my grandparents and then to my uncle & his wife. Take care.
Sincere condolences on the passing of Uncle Harry. My heart goes out to the entire family. I have so many good memories of him. He was fun and always had a good joke. Always made my mom (his sister Eleanor) laugh with his jokes. He will be missed. Love and prayers to Aunt Leah and the whole family. Love, Tim and Cindy & family.
I had only met Mr. Kulp at Alvira family cookout outings several times. He was a gentleman and always had a smile and joke to tell. I could see he loved his family dearly and was very loving to his wife. He was also great with his grandchildren and was always telling stories of his growing up. My condolences to the entire Babel family. He no longer is suffering. He has been called home. May he rest in peace with the Lord.
Harry was a wonderful, sweet, and kindhearted man. He also had quick wit. We loved spending time with him and talking. He was a great neighbor, they don’t make them like that anymore. He could always make you laugh. We are sending prayers to Leah and the family. We are so sorry for their loss. He will truly be missed.
