I want to extend my deepest condolence to Sharon and your family.
Harry was was a gret guy and friend since our days working together at Roberts Advertisng in 72 til 83. I'm glad I got a chance to reconnect in 2012. You will be missed Harry. Your friendship will be missed!

I've known Harry since kindergarten, and remember one thing that remained constant throughout his entire life: The ability to laugh at himself - and encourage everyone to join in. As a class clown myself, Harry gave me some serious competition. I didn't realize the sincere side of him until late in life, unfortunately. Above all, he was a man of great character, and bounced back from adversity like a champ. I'll miss his goofy smile and accompanying wink he so often threw at me. God bless all the Achino's and will pray for him the rest of my life.

Dear Achino Family...I had the pleasure of first meeting Harry in the late 60's at St George. Although many years passed since we re-connected a few years ago, when we did, it was like it was just yesterday we had last seen ech other. May God Bless him and all of you.
