Harry, who retired to Taree, passed away peacefully on November 1st at the age of 86.
A well-known figure, Harry leaves behind countless friends and colleagues who remember him warmly.
Mark Rothfield, who worked with Harry at Modern Boating, shared, “Haz worked for the Spooner boatbuilding family for years and later served as National Advertising Manager at Modern Boating from the late ’80s until around 2004. He was a great bloke, with a sharp wit and a repertoire of one-liners—a true gentleman, well-liked throughout the industry.”
Rest in Peace, Harry.
Fair winds and following seas.
