Dear Nancy, Michael, Robert and families, I was so sorry to hear about your dad. My mom called me in Texas to tell me. I have very fond memories of Harry. He was a loving grandpa and always had great expressions. It has been so many years but I have vivid memories of how much he loved Alexander, Daniel and Nathan. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. In deepest sympathy, Joy, Raef, Francesca and Henry Rothschild (Joy Lesser)

Dear Family Members,
We are so sorry to hear about the passing of your Dad. Harry and I go back many many years, and your Dad was like a Father to me. I truly loved Harry, we thought so much alike. Your Dad left me with so many wonderful memories, and I will treasure them for the rest of my life. You were all so lucky to have him for so many years.
I will always remember your Dads handshake....strong as a bull!
I loved your Dad, and I will always miss him......and Harry, thanks for the memories.
Love, and Bless you All.

While both on vacation, Harry from the Mayor's Office and I from the Housing Authority, we bumped (literally)into each other on a crowded street in Curacao in 1976, proving both, that it's a small world and wherever you go, you'll meet someone you know.

I am so sorry for your loss.
