I came here from Wales 🏴 U. K. In 1967 I met Harry at my brother in laws house on Dudley st. He was the first friend I had upon arriving here & we hit it off right away. We were basically inseparable from that day forward. We hung out together from dixwell lanes bowling bowling alley to the original sound track to the cotton club & all up & down the avenue. Watched many a football game together barbecued together he was my son Ian’s Godfather. I introduced him to Alice to say we were like brothers would be an understatement. When we would leave each others company or hang up the phone. He would always say. I love you man & I would reply I love you too man. I’m gonna miss you my brother until we meet again ☝️💙
A good friend of our friends! Met several times at frank and Caras. What a hell of a nice guy ! God bless you Harry and Allice ! You and Frankie and Cara !! You showed us how it was done easily. As Frankie has always stated “ ONE LOVE “! ❤️ God bless all of you and thank you for showing us who are stupid how it’s Done! ❤️❤️ and how NOT to be ignorant for years !!!! I will borrow Frank and Harry’s phrase -ONE LOVE!
To Alice in the family I am so sorry for your loss. Embedded in my memory is how comical you and Harry were and you’re younger days of marriage. I was I off of my deepest condolences to you and the family and I pray God surrounds you in His peace and strength. I know it’s not an easy road, but I pray that your fond memories will help you along this part of your journey.I Love you Marion.
