I feel terrible for Harry's brother, Jeff, sister, Carolyn Barford Marr, and their spouses and children for their loss of a loved one. Harry was a really nice guy and will be missed.

I was a good friend of Harry's sister since grade school. I spent a lot of tie at their house and remember Harry and Jeff being around. Harry was always kind and had a smile on his face. My heartfelt sympathy to Carolyn and Jeff for the loss of your wonderful brother.

Harry and I were classmates at HHHS and Facebook friends. He will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

I fondly remember my dear friend Carolyn Barford Marr's older brother Harry. He was a sweet, kind and gentle person. In high school I remember being at the Barford's house when Harry was there (even though he was so much older than us and had graduated from college). He always greeted us with a warm smile. Dear Carolyn and Jeff, I'm so sorry for the loss of your beloved brother.

I met Harry in the late '50's when we both worked at Santerian's Dept Store in Hatboro. We formed a friendship that carried us through our early 20's. Many were the Friday nights we spent at the Rendezvous Bar in New Hope, Harry . Florence, Mac Wheatly, Cathy and other of Harry's & Florence's friends. I guess I was a 5th wheel but always felt a part of the crowd. Thanks to Harry.

We send our deepest sympathy and prayers to Marion and her family.

II remember Harry from the late 50's when I met him through Harry Busch and being a member of the Hatboro road rodders. I have a fond memory of one of our 'sunday drives' when we went to Atlantic city once for a tour and lunch. He had a ford coupe that he was very proud of and explained to the details of the restoration and offer to let me take it for a spin. That was the golden inspiration I needed to purchase a 47 Plymouth convertible and begin my own restoration. Most of all I remember...

My memories of Harry go back a long way. We met in junior high school in the mid 50's and became very close friends. We hung out together trapping muskrats in Pennypack Creek, served the community and went camping as Eagle Scouts, worked together at Marsden's LP gas and Santarian's clothing store, and were founding members of the Road Dragons Car Club along with Bob Clevenstine and Harry Busch. We drifted apart over the years, but I will always cherish the close friendship we had during...
