  2. Dear Harry’s family, My mom, Belle Kersten always thought Harry and Dot were the nicest couple. Mom worked with Harry for years at the County and always had such a good relationship. I know he will be missed.

  3. When I had the occasion to see Harry, it was the bright spot of my day. Especially since I never had to be on my best behavior. He leaves a mighty big Harry-shaped space in the world. My deepest sympathy to all who are missing his presence, with special condolences to his beautiful Cynthia.
