Harry will be definitely missed by so many and especially the family! I never saw Tunk ever look down about anything even when he had to be in pain. I can still remember how he could get out his vehicle slowly but when he saw a face he knew...there came the big smile. Not only was he a part of the Central Fidelity Bank gatherings, he was also my bus driver when I was in elementary school. Lots of fond memories!!!
