I was lucky enough to be Harry's travel agent. We should all live our life to the fullest which Harry did. Taking off on his own to Italy, Australia and to visit his girls he always had the best humor about life, illness and opportunity to experience new things. It was good to know Harry and I will miss him.

Harry was a wonderful person. We came to know Harry first as our neighbor and then our good friend. Harry was very kind, and loved animals. He was extremely knowledgeable on many topics and was a very interesting man. He was a gentleman. It was our pleasure to share the time with Harry that we did have and we feel fortunate to have had him in our lives. Our thoughts go out to his daughters who we were so happy to meet. Harry is definitely a person who will be missed by anyone who knew him. Sincerely, Pam and David
ReplyDeleteHarry was a customer of mine when I started to sell. He helped me tremendously and it turned into a friendship that lasted 45 years. Thanks for everything; I'm missing you. Al B.
ReplyDeleteHarry has been a good friend since the 1940's when we rode horses at the Bloomfield Open Hunt. We were both in school at Cranbrook Kingswood, he being a year older than I. We dated during college years. I married a classmate of his and moved to Arizona and then we exchanged Christmas cards over the years. We went to visit Harry in Sutton's Bay in the 1990's and again in 2009 or-10, when he moved back to Sutton's Bay. Harry was remembered in the Cranbrook memorial service on June 6, 2015, the reunion weekend. He will live on in my heart. My deepest sympathy to his family.
