Harry was the patriarch of the Mc Grath family from Wexford, my home town. He took me under his wing when I was 18 while I spent a summer working in NY and hanging out with him in his ham radio studio in the basement- WB2EZM… I remember. That trip changed my life and later I became an American as a result of it. Thank you Har … we will miss you. Xxxxx
