My thoughts and prayers go to all members of Harry's family. Harry taught me much about advertising when I worked in the Ad Department of the Washington, DC Division of Safeway. What fond memories I have of my time visiting the agency, the studio and so much more. What a great guy!

Dear Kathy: I am saddened by the loss of Harry. Both he, and you, have been such good friends over the years. Visiting Maryland will not seem the same.
My heart goes out to you and my prayers, as well.

Harry, a valued business partner and associate but most of all a dear friend for many years. He welcomed my family and me as newcomers to Washington D.C. in 1967 and we've maintained our association through the years and across the country. My sincere sympathy to Kathy, Peggy, Harry and family.
