I cherish many fond memories of Harry while he visited me @ the Ithaca Bakery...one of his many, "home away from homes" ! Harry consistently shared the art of story telling by plucking an often colorful, to put it lightly, memory from a thick catalogue of immeasurably delightful, well lived, life experiences. He truly inspired me to not only venture out of my "box" but to embrace the adventure & never regret. Cheers, Harry & thank you for all you gave.

Mr.Harry and I were like ships passing in the night. We spent time on a voyage and had wonderful conversations.
I am seeing Nick on television now and remembering the charm of his grandfather.
To wonderful memories.
