Dear Tyson Family – I was so very sorry to read of Harry’s passing in the morning paper. Tom and I enjoyed speaking with Harry so much at a family reunion now many years ago that Tom spoke of him many times over to others. It stayed with Tom that Harry was working at Harley-Davidson overseeing the painting of Harleys when the intoduction of robots changed the painting process. Tom loved Pink Floyd too. I wonder what was Harry’s favorite song? My embrace to you all and my sincere sympathy. Take care.
