Dear Friends and Family of Harry,
Harry and I became good friends almost 20 years ago while working together at Enterprise Rent a Car.
We were fishing buddies and I enjoyed the time that we spent together. We made several fishing trips with our friend Dan to Ohio and New York. He was always a kind and generous soul.
My deepest condolences to all of you.
