Not sure what to say?

I first met Harry at Villanova University in 1969, where I took some Accounting courses as his student. He impressed me so much in his teaching methods that, upon graduation, my very first job out of school was with his partnership firm, Gelman & Bilker CPA's. It was a profound pleasure to have known & worked with/for Harry early in my Accounting career - what a privilege and blessing!

Harry has been our accountant for the last 7 years. Each year, we would come to his office where he would prepare our taxes. We would spend 20 minutes discussing business and then, for the next hour, surrounded by about 50 tax returns, he would speak to us about what was going on in his life, especially his travels.

Harry was so easy to relate to, so friendly, so kind, so caring, and had such a lust for life! We were shocked to learn last week that he had passed away last year!...

Please accept my deepest condolences for your loss. I knew Harry at Central High School where he was the friendliest of boys. I recently thought of him and tried to locate him--only too late. He will be missed.

My deepest sympathies to Jeanne, Bruce, and Jack.

Harry was the friendliest person we know --he would do anything for anyone without question. He loved and lived life to the fullest.
We will miss him beyond words.
Rosemarie and Harry Kidd

Uncle Harry's death is a great loss to the entire extended family. We will all miss him terribly.

Harry was a wonderful human being and will be missed by many.

Our condolences from the Bilker family.
