I met Harry nearly 20 years ago when I rented an apartment in his house on Octavia St. He became like family to me and helped me in life, as I was eventually able to help him.

Harry was an old world gentleman, a giving soul, and a supportive pal who was always there for me. His presence in our lives will be sorely missed.

Harry was a testdeskman at 1807 Burdette Street. He was an absolute delight to deal with. Great technician and a great guy.
