Leave a tribute for Harry M. Oliver.
Harry and I worked together for over 20 years at Kraus & Naimer. I consider Harry as one of my closest friends. After his retirement we would talk several times a year. Being unable to reach him by phone I did an internet search. I will miss him. My sympathy goes out to his boys and family. Steve Bertone
