Please accept my heartfelt condolences. Harry and I were both raised in the same West Asheville neighborhood justed two blocks away from each other as kids. We are the same age. We both attended the same schools together and after graduation, as young adults, we both worked at Magnavox Arden in the early 1970’s. Harry Lee will be sorely missed by all who knew his loving soul. May our Heavenly Father welcome Harry Lee into HIs eternal kingdom.
