I am sorry for your loss. Harry and I came up from Bays Mountain. When I had the pleasure of working with Harry. We had some great times. I was a electricians helper and Harry was the electrician. I remember when me, Harry and his boys went to Shelbyville
for the Walking Horse Celebration. I hate not visiting, Harry after retirement.
Worked with Mr. Cross in the early 80’s at Eastman. Very nice fellow and a gentleman. Sorry to hear of his passing.
