My deepest sympathy to the Dantry family. I worked Harry for quite a few years now a long time ago. Always had a joke to tell. Fun guy to be around and always made the work a little easier.
May he rest in peace.

I worked with Harry at Giant Eagle for many years. We became friends outside work. He always made me laugh telling me all his crazy jokes. I will miss you my good friend.

I worked with Harry at the store on Bower Hill Road in the early 70's. He was always happy go lucky and was a great guy to be around. I have often thought about him,but didn't know how to contact him, maybe he would not even remembered me. Sorry to hear of his passing. I wish we could have spoke one more time.
