I recall a visit with Harry when he described climbing onto his roof like "uno scoiattolo", with emphasis as only he could apply.
We'll miss his never ending supply of golf balls. I obtained many from him during my visits to my grandparent Nello and Bernice who lived accross the street. I remember them always being amused and amazed by what Harry would be doing around his house that was always meticulously maintained. climbing ladders, etc. at an age when most find it difficult to retrieve their mail. he was one of a kind!
I have many fond memories of Harry, having lived next door to him as a child through adulthood. I still remember his wonderful whistle, he could whistle like like a bird.
Harry has been a true inspiration to me and also my son. May you rest in peace Harry now that you're back with your bride Ida
