So sorry for your loss. Harry was a customer of ours (Johnston Insurance Agency) & in 1986, when I quit smoking, my boss at the time, Frank Rotondo, took me up to Harry's log cabin. We were writing his insurance and Frank was going out to see the house. It was my first day not smoking & Frank thought it would be good to get me OUT of the office. He was right.
Harry will be missed - he had such a vivacious personality, always so friendly.
Fondly, Kat
