Harry welcomed me into his family just over 12 years ago when I married his son Hal, and he always, always made me feel special in his warm and wonderful way. And that same warm way is emulated by Hal, Peggy and Tim, their children and their children. What a legacy he has left for all of us who have had the privilege of knowing him, no matter for how long.
