Harry was an outstanding man, honorable and kind. I delivered his mail at upstate 20 south Duke and am very fond of Harry. james carnes.

Sorry to hear that Harry passed away. I worked for him back in the early  1990’s. When he graduated from high school and retired all at the same time,  I made him a red, white and blue  afghan. I made his wife an angel pin. The next time I caught up with him he was working at the Clipper Stadium.  Rest in Peace , Harry .
