My thoughts and prayers are with the family. My husband, Charles Gelfand, was President of the Los Angeles Insurance Agents and Brokers Association and remembers Henry. As I read the obituary, it is possible that I am a relative of Harriett Smuckler. I would like to ask Harriett to email me @ [email protected]. Our hearts go out to all of you.
