To the Family of Harry Koko,



Harry will be greatly missed at the O.P.C.C. meetings. Harry was very, very knowledgeable about many subjects. I remember him and admired him greatly when his late wife was still alive. He brought Mary to meetings and took care of her needs first. Harry, we will miss you greatly but know that you are with some of the greatest numismatists and enjoying and sharing stories.



Sincerely,

Sharon - President of the O.P.C.C. on behalf of the entire membership.

Dear Karen & Mike; Paul, Pat & Marie; and David: Please accept my sincere sympathy on the death of Harry. He was a fine man, a kind man--he took me out to supper before I left OP! I'm sorry he's gone, but I know that, all in all, he had a wonderful life, full of varied interests, and that he loved you all very much....From Denise....
