Many fond memories of Harry and his volunteer work at Berks VNA. But Harry was best known for his love of God. Now, Harry, you have reached your eternal destination and am embraced by the loving arms of our Lord. Until we meet again! Peace

I worked at the Highlands for a few years while I was in nursing school... I still have the cross and prayer that Mr.Hahn gave me..He was a great man who could always put a smile on my face and a song in my heart.
