Harry and I were best friends after he came to Philly and we met. We worked together for a while and later we hung out and/or partied together (especially his New Years Eve parties that were held a little early so we could all get home safe [He videotaped each year's midnight festivities and then would play them back the next year so we could celebrate early]. He even baby-sat my young son once or twice. He & I were executors of each other's estates (until the last minute when a horrible "black widow" caught his attention and she conned him into naming her instead.) I had , with great sorrow, the honor of speaking in praise of him at his funeral. Knowing that Harry had been apprehended by the FBI, I frequently teased him (he had a wonderful sense of humor) by wearing an FBI baseball cap. At his final services, I began with "Harry, this ones for you" and I whipped out an FBI cap and donned it. He did much good for many people and was a great joy to be with. If it had not been for his early life gambling, he might not have been the only friend I ever had that served time in Attica! He is still missed!! [Prof. Jay Arnold (ret) (11/7/25])
