Sorry to say I just heard of this sad event a couple days ago. I only knew Harry for a few years but always shared his passion for bowling and its history and was honored to contribute to his book. Deepest condolences to his family.

I will always remember you as the 'beta max king'. I don't expect anyone to know what that means, but you did. Although I didn't see you as much as most of the family, I do remember the last time I saw you. And now your right there with her. Tell Nikki that we all love her, and I miss her as much as her mom does. You two watch over Karen, Joey, Penny and the kids. Keep them safe, but never let a day go by letting them know they are always loved by you. Miss you guy! :o(

I am deeply saddened by Harrys passing. I was fortunate to work with Harry over the past several years. His death leaves a big void in Columbus Ohio bowling. Harrys passion in life was bowling and the preservation of the history of bowling in Columbus. He will be missed.
