The passing of time has not dulled nor faded the wonderful memories of our time together. He was a gentleman of a different era. The world was a better place with him in it. His memory still brings a smile to my face.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Harry's passing. We loved telling each other bad jokes, giving each other the needle and sharing a laugh at each others expense. A wonderful man and friend. I'll miss him.

Sue, Mike, Tom and the entire Pauly family -
Our prayers are with you during this time of loss. Harry will live on through you, the many others he touched and his many creations. He certainly created a great business foundation for the family. I always enjoyed his personality when discussing business and taxes.

Kindest regards,

The world has lost an exceptional gentleman and I have lost a cherished friend. I will dearly miss his smiling face and our morning conversations. Varying from wonderfully relaxed to extemely animated, they were all appreciated. He was warm, caring, and always honest. He will continue to be missed and never be forgotten.

Michael Verta, M.D.
