I was fortunate to work with Harry many years at the Lobster House. I will never forget the day I asked Harry if he would consider hiring my handicapped son. His reply was "why not" Harry is the only person who gave my son a chance and for that I will be eternally grateful. My Bobby is still working at the Lobster House 15 years later. He will never forget Harry's words to keep his work area "neat and tidy". Harry was a very special man, and will be greatly missed by all who new him

This is an incredible loss for everyone who was lucky enough to know Harry. He was a very good man, and an even better friend. My Mom and Dad and I appreciate the person that Harry was, and we will remember him forever. He was always so supportive of me, and I will never forget that. Carol, you and your family are in our prayers. Love, Mike Farrington
