Harry was a firm believer in work hard, play harder. A member of Phoenix Sports Club, he was active in soccer, fistball, and softball, and was a Roanoke College Hall of Fame Athlete, inducted in 1961. Harry shared his love of sports as a coach as well, lending his athletic expertise to the girls’ basketball team at St. Francis Cabrini School.

Above all, Harry cherished the time spent with those he held most dear. He was a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and uncle who will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
