I graduated high school with Harry, joining the class as a sophomore and entering the military shortly after graduation. Over the next seven or eight years, I saw him on only a handful of occasions and not at all after that. Even so, my memories of him are vivid. Harry was one of the first to welcome me to the class. He was quick with a smile, always friendly and fun to be around. He helped introduce me to bowling, arranged a temporary job for me at The Ridgewood News, and took me as his guest to my first professional basketball game. I regret never having seen him in his role as husband, father, and grandpa. I'm sure he excelled in all and will be greatly missed by those who were a part of his life. We've lost one of the good guys. My condolences to all who knew and loved him.
