Leslie:
So sorry to hear of your father's death. I remember some of your stories about this energetic, outgoing man. In particular I remember a year you received a big bunch of long stemmed red roses at work, and each supposedly had a $$$ surprise taped on the stem. This man had class!
My sympathies and best to you & your family

Greg: My sympathy. You probably don't remember me but I was the Purchasing agent at Fibreboard in Stockton back in 60's and 70's when I did business with your grandfather and your father at Bearing Supply and then with Harry when it became King Bearing. We had a few good lunches and times together during our business relationship and I always respected Harry and the way he conducted himself in the business arena. Also, I always considered him the Doug Sanders of us golf duffers. I will remember him in my prayers.
