Harry was born on July 17, 1943 in Cleveland, OH. He graduated from Tarentum High School, Tarentum, PA, in 1962 and served in the U.S. Navy from 1961-1965. He was a Photographers Mate on the USS Independence during the Cuban Blockade. Harry’s interest in photography and photographic processing began early in life and after the Navy he worked for several photographic firms. In 1986 Harry along with associates started a small business, HAS Images Inc., a specialty photographic laboratory for processing and reproducing aerial films. He loved his work, HAS employees and customers. He was extremely proud to transition the operation of the company to son Ken. Harry loved his family and especially enjoyed taking family vacations in beautiful Colorado. He treasured Monday visits from Ken and Preston when Ken would talk with his Dad about business and Preston would entertain and play with his Grandpap. Harry was a big fan of Penn State football and especially enjoyed Dayton Dragons baseball games with family and friends. As Harry’s disease progressed it may have robbed him of some of his faculties, but it did not take away his spirit. He never complained or felt sorry for himself. Several individuals and organizations helped Harry navigate the many challenges presented by Multiple System Atrophy. The family would like to thank Dr. Alberto Espay and his team, Dr. Nancy Liu and her team. Also, long time fitness trainer, Samantha McKinley of Southside Fitness Club; Sheila Roush and other therapists and staff of Neuro Rehab and Balance Center; Therapists and staff of Kettering Medical Center Inpatient Rehabilitation and Kettering Home Care.
