Not sure what to say?

Met Harry and Marsha working on their Howe Street Condo. I quickly realized that I had met a great man. He was sharp, insightful and kind. Through conversation I had invited them to my wedding at the Herashoff.

I just learned of Harry´s passing this weekend and wish I had one more visit with him. I have many "Harry stories" and will always remember him fondly. A few of my favorite memories: when I moved into the neighborhood he and Jo threw me a welcome party so he could introduce me to all my new neighbors. Such a kind and thoughtful gesture. I also vividly remember his big old generator that he kept in his big old green trailer-- man he loved that generator! We have a great video of him...

I am so sorry about hearing of Harry´s passing! We had the pleasure of living next to Harry for 10+ years and spending weekends with Tracy, Jo, Marco and Greg..and attending the backyard wedding with the Hoffman family and Harry´s old (very fun) friends. As we all know Harry always had a project and continued to climb ladders well into his 90´s! Once I came home to a couch hanging from the maple tree..Harry didn´t have anyone to help him load the couch into his truck, so he rigged up a block...

It was an honor and a privilege to have cared for Mr. Hoffman.

Of all of his accomplishments, His family is his greatest legacy.

Our sincere sympathies to Tracey, and all Harry´s family and friends. We very much enjoyed an impromptu lunch with Harry and Tracey whilst in Rhode Island a few years ago. He was welcoming, friendly and great company. We wished we could have spent more time with him to hear more of his interesting life stories - condolences to all the family.

I remember Harry from the 50s and 60s when he, my dad, and the laicos would be playing pinochle late into the night drinking Rheingold beer. He had a loud hardy laugh and a flat top crew cut. I know he had a major say in the construction of the cabin because it was built like a fortress. Amazing man.

We will surely Miss Harry on Timber Lane in Jupiter,FL. Our Friday night group on the caldesac will remember him fondly! He moved to Jupiter in our neighborhood about 23 years ago -just after we did! He was a rare character and always adventurous! Very much like "Dennis the menace " - young at heart! Our condolences to your entire family!

Condolences from our family to yours. Mr. Harry was a unique, special man, it was our honor to have met him. Suzie and Tracey, you are the best!!
