I met Harry at the old PBL in the early 70's. I was just dating Gigi. He was so very nice and welcoming me. He asked everyone to turn off the swearing that they was a lady in the house. I just laughed and said that I could swear just like the best of them. From that day he was a great friend to us. Whenever I met it was a big hug and kiss. I personally will miss him. He was a true gentleman and great to everyone. RIP my friend.
