He was born in 1930 at home on the south side of Chicago. As a teenager Harry attended a seminary and intended to be a priest. But his senior year he was bed ridden with Rheumatic Fever for a year. His saving grace was his radio, he knew then that he wanted to become a Disc Jockey. He left the seminary and began his career which spanned six decades. In 1961 he married the love of his life, Patricia, whom he affectionately called \u201cPretty Patti\u201d. Together they made a home in Norwood where they raised their four children, Patti, Patrick, Michael and Brian Joseph \u201cBJ\u201d. He was tragically predeceased by his wife Patti and sons, BJ and Michael with whom he is now with in heaven. He was a devoted husband and father and would go home after his stint on the radio to be with his family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Harry was a part of radio history, having worked at\nWMCA, WABC, and WCBS FM, and was known as one of the \u201cOriginal Good Guys\u201d, he\nwas also a very humble and charitable person, often donating his time to\nsupport local police, fire and emergency services as well as Spectrum for\nLiving and the American Cancer Society. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visitation will be Monday, February 3, 2020 from 3-8 PM at Pizzi\nFuneral Home, 120 Paris Ave, Northvale, NJ (201-767-3050).
