Harry was one of Amity’s
shining spirits. We will fondly
remember our cherished times
with him.
For many years, Harry
selflessly sat on the Board of
Directors and helped to coordinate our outings and group
communications. His contribution was priceless. Last year, we
honored Harry as a Member for Life. Selfishly, we hoped he would
hold that honor for many more years.
Harry passed away on August 11th, 2009. Harry was “Mr. Amity”
and will always be remembered for his years of dedicated service to
The Club. Harry was greatly loved, respected and admired by his
friends in Amity. Simply stated, everyone liked Harry.
Harry graduated from Eastern in 1932 and played baseball for years
with the DC Union Printers and the Naval Reserve Aviation Base..
Harry enjoyed golf and although he never “shot his age”, he did play
golf well past his 90th birthday. He was a an avid sportsman. Harry
left behind 2 children, 4 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren.
Harry, we teased you because we loved you. “Stand up, Harry!”
