Harry Dollahite was a true gentleman, family man, who loved his wife Virginia and was one of the most genuine and friendly people i ever met. Harry was a classic newspaper man from the golden era of newspaper marketing and sales. He once shared with me that he was going to hire me to be his right hand man with the Representative Firm office he managed in Dallas. That office eventually closed and we had the opportunity to hire Harry as a part of our team at The Dallas Morning News. His knowledge, kindness, and practical view of problems was always so refreshing. He shared stories of growing up in Mississippi where his family was so poor he wore pants made out of burlap. Perhaps because of this upbringing Harry was always grateful for everything in his life, including his family, his job and his health. I am blessed to have known Harry and I am absolutely convinced I am a better person today for having known him. Harry lived his life as an example for others, and although he never proclaimed to do that, I admired him enough to emulate him and admire his personal approach to life. God Bless you Harry and blessings to his Family, Virginia and Bert. This may be a tough time for you but time heals all wounds and God has a special place for Harry in his Kingdom. May God bless each of you as well. Douglas (Doug) R. Burke Tucson Arizona
