At a young age Harry developed a strong work ethic and worked several jobs throughout his lifetime. His knowledge and affinity for cars helped him to become a well accomplished car salesman. He worked for many years at Dewey Ford until retirement. Now Harry may have enjoyed selling cars but he enjoyed buying them all the more. Harrys favorite past times included watching sporting events and movies on TV, grilling and spending time with his children. In addition, he liked listening to old school R&B music and heading out to the links to play a round of golf.
