Sadly, I am just seeing this two years after Harry´s passing. I worked for him during my youth in the late 50´s and he became a dear friend for many years.. Unfortunately, we lost touch as time passed.
Laurie, I´m sure you don´t remember me, but I used to babysit for you, Hal and Bruce. In fact, I loved you so much that that my first daughter was named for you.
Your dad was a sweet man.
Best wishes to your family,
Chris Reilly
