It was a privilege to know Harry. My first recollections going back to the late 1970's. Harry worked with Rich & Randy Sulvestri at Body shops in and around the Norwich area. I met Betty, his wife, at the Jewett City Trust Co. I had a checking account and mortgage there.
Harry even worked for me at the Harris Graphics Co in Pawcatuck, CT in the cylinder assembly department.
It was a pleasure to know him.
Peace by with his family.

My Uncle Harry was great. He is part of so many childhood memories in Connecticut. Always was good for a fishing story or a laugh. So unique and so fun!

He and my mom had such a great relationship. She loved him so much.

He was a must see whenever he came south to visit.

Captain Cooke you will be missed we had many great times working at many car dealers together R.I.P my friend.

Uncle Harry was the BEST uncle!! Maybe not the greatest influence all the time, but that's exactly what a young boy wants in an uncle. I will never forget our Super Bowl bets, jumping on elevators, him pulling the red chord in grandma's hospital room just to see what happened, and all the stories he used to tell. I remember visiting when I was a kid and he would cook me whatever I wanted for breakfast. He lived a great life and will be greatly missed.

We would like to express our sincerest condolences to Betty and the family. We will always remember what a wonderful person Harry was, especially to our youngest son, Austin. He helped Austin experience fishing and Harry shared his love for the outdoors. He will be greatly missed. Always, Alan & Anneli

Betty and family. Harry was a great guy and I'll miss him.

Sorry for your loss Betty.
