Sad news indeed.

Harry was a really nice guy and will be greatly missed by many of us.

I had the good fortune to hook up with him in Hornell a couple of years ago.
We spent a couple of hours talking about the EL and Erie and shot a couple of
freights by the station.

I hope he has a full scale layout of the Southern Tier to play with now :)

Obit follows my taglines.
