My condolences on the loss of your father. Harry was my Godfather. My Dad, Joe, always spoke with great love of his cousin. I saw a lot of Harry while I was growing up and he was always loving and warm. God bless you and your family.

Life Story

Ghost Stories at the Shore - July 10, 1940 Posted: February 3, 2014 | Last Revised: February 3, 2014 When I was a kid, our extended family spent summers at the Jersey shore. As I recall, the youngsters slept in a dorm-like attic, girls on one side and Harry, the only male, on the other. Before we went to sleep, Harry would entertain us with a ghost story of his own creation--always to-be-continued, at a crucial moment. How I enjoyed them--and him. May he rest in peace.
