To JoAnn, Shelly and all of Harry's family, We are so sorry to hear of your dads passing. He was always a great guy. We always had a nice time visiting with him and your mom years ago when we camped together at the NYS Fair. We also enjoyed having conversation with him whenever we saw each other. He will be greatly missed by all. Now he can go and relax with your mom and young Harry. They will be making left turns up above all the time.

Harry was always willing to lend a hand. I remember when i was kid growing up next store. He always would help with a quick fix or lend a tool for my dirt bikes and old truck i used to tear around out back. Nice man and great guy to have as a neighbor.
