Harry was one of Amity’s shining spirits. We will fondly remember our cherished times with him.

For many years, Harry selflessly sat on the Board of Directors and helped to coordinate our outings and group communications. His contribution was priceless. Last year, we honored Harry as a Member for Life. Selfishly, we hoped he would hold that honor for many more years.

Harry passed away on August 11th, 2009.  Harry was “Mr. Amity” and will always be remembered for his years of dedicated service to The Club.  Harry was greatly loved, respected and admired by his friends in Amity. Simply stated, everyone liked Harry.

Harry enjoyed golf and although he never “shot his age”, he did play golf well past his 90th birthday. He was a an avid sportsman. Harry left behind 2 children, 4 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren.

Harry, we teased you because we loved you. “Stand up, Harry!”

Harry’s Funeral service will be held at 12:30 pm on Thursday at B’nai Israel Congregation at 6301 Montrose Road, Rockville, MD 20852. It is a Masonic service at 12:30pm and a religious service at 1:00. Burial will be at Judean Gardens.

Shiva will still be at 13002 North Commons Way, Rockville, MD 20854

Andy Winter’s started a water project project in Togo when he was International Service Chairperson for the Rotary Club. Andy had been a Peace Corps Volunteer in Togo in the late 70′s. He used his Architectural abilities to build schools and to help the people in small villages. When he heard about people working in Togo to build and improve wells, he wanted to be a part of this service project. Andy was very excited about being able to return to Togo and help out with this water project. Naming the project in Andy’s name is our way of seeing that Andy’s dream is fulfilled. The Potomac Club is holding a Lobster Dinner on November 12, 2008 at Normandie Farm Restaurant in Potomac to raise money for this worthwhile project.

Feel free to tell a story or leave a comment about Andy.
