Sorry to hear of his passing.... really wish I could have made it to his memorial service.
Harry taught me good work ethics at the age of 14.... I can still hear him telling me, "you need to stay one step ahead of me"... He was the fairest employer I ever worked for.

Harry was always honest and you could depend on him to do the best he could to help you. One day I had a small fender bender and was very upset, there was no damage to the truck I bumped but my fender was dented. I exchanged information with the man I bumped, he was very aggressive and angry. I was very upset and drove my car to Harry to show him the damage. The angry man followed me to Sumida's Auto Repair. Harry came to my defense and told the man to leave me alone. I wanted to hug him and I will always remember him coming to my defense against this horrible man!
Thank you Harry, I know you are up in heaven with the angels.
Dear Scott and family,
I never met or knew your father, but know he was loved and honored by his family. You did all you could to help him battle with his medical issues, and no doubt he knew and appreciated it. Unfortunately, our abilities to help others are limited, and we must treasure the small successes along the way, and hang on to our personal memories of those successes.
As my wife Karen's health worsened, I felt I became closer to her, even though I could not tell if she was aware of my presence or efforts on her behalf. I know I did all that I could, as did you.
The story you sent me about the man who was asked why he had breakfast everyday with his wife in a care home when she didn't remember who he was, gave me strength to continue on because as the man in the story said, I knew who she was.
I am proud of the fine man you have become, and hope my mentoring when we worked together was helpful to you and had lasting benefits. That is my impression and I'm sticking to it.
My best wishes to you and your family as you adjust to your loss.
Thank you for letting me know and keeping in touch,
Stephen D. Hungerford
