Each morning, Harry woke thinking about the highlight of his day, which was usually family dinner or his nightly Dewar's and club soda. A gracious host, talented chef and loyal patron, Harry enjoyed nothing more than filling his table with culinary creations and loved ones. He valued his friendships, and his friends valued being part of his circle. Harry treasured his pets and respected all living beings, leading many a vulnerable insect to safety. He never knew a stranger. Harry was an enthusiastic supporter of the Pittsburgh Steelers, motorsports and he was passionate and knowledgeable about music of diverse genres.
