I remember Uncle Harry always let me come in and make pizzas. Those were the good 'ol days. "Even though I'm only 13. Uncle Harry brought pizza into existence." I used to go to the ID eat pizza and ride the trolly. Uncle Harry ROCKS!!!! We miss you. See you on Sat-Your-Day.

~ Harry O' Trivia ~
When Mark Wahlberg was Markie Mark and the Funky Bunch, Harry hung out with him and drove his music equipment to all of his gigs. Of course, one day, his music equipment rolled out of the van because he failed to properly secure them.
Drove bus for a "Bipolar Awareness Campaign" across country.
Owned a German Shepard Police Dog named Brandon.
Organ Donor
Was a member of AA for 20 plus years.
Loved to fish! Back in the day, fishing at the Russian River, in Alaska, Harry cast out and the hook got stuck in his head. Harry had someone clip as much of the hook off as possible and continued on fishing for the rest of the day. That's how he got the name "Snagamatsu."
If golfers tooks too long playing, he would tell them that he had a plane to catch.
Harry continues to serve breakfast for the homeless every month at the shop.

Actually nobody clipped off the red and white Russian River fly that his O-ness had embedded in his head. He fished all day, caught his limit and then some before we proceeded to the emergency room in Anchorage to have the hook cut out of his head.
Harisan got the name "Snagamatsu" while we were "fishing" on the Coghill river in Prince William Sound. There were so many salmon you could almost walk across the river on them, but try as you might they would not bite. So... Harry and I owned a 22'dory that we managed to fill to knee deep with red salmon. Wild Bill
I was just looking up Atlantic Street Pizza for dinner and noticed Harry had died. I used to work next door at "Frame-It", Harry used to feed me pizza everyday, some in exchange for framing his rock and roll photos. He will be greatly missed. Lora
This is great info to know.
I dated Harry for a couple of years from 1989 to 1991. I worked next door at Frame-It as well (hello Lora). He used to refer to me as his 'future ex-wife'.
The last time I saw Harry was 2004.
He told me at the time that his health had not been good. It's terribly difficult to hear that someone you once loved has died...and nearly two years after the fact. RIP Harry.
