Memories and Condolences

Alfred L. Morrow, CPA, MBA

I first met Harry at Villanova University in 1969, where I took some Accounting courses as his student. He impressed me so much in his teaching methods that, upon graduation, my very first job out of school was with his partnership firm, Gelman & Bilker CPA's. It was a profound pleasure to have known & worked with/for Harry early in my Accounting career - what a privilege and blessing!

Harry has been our accountant for the last 7 years. Each year, we would come to his office where he would prepare our taxes. We would spend 20 minutes discussing business and then, for the next hour, surrounded by about 50 tax returns, he would speak to us about what was going on in his life, especially his travels.
Harry was so easy to relate to, so friendly, so kind, so caring, and had such a lust for life! We were shocked to learn last week that he had passed away last year!
Harry was one of those few people that live a lasting, powerful, and positive impression after only a few minutes spent with them. He seems alive to us right now, and he will live in, and enrich, our hearts forever.

Please accept my deepest condolences for your loss. I knew Harry at Central High School where he was the friendliest of boys. I recently thought of him and tried to locate him--only too late. He will be missed.
