Hi.

RIP Harry.

Your (accidental) invention has helped me a lot over the years.

Regards
Sam

IIRC, it was him or his assistant, who had the idea of marketing their new failed discovery to the medical industry as an alternative to stiches. One can assume that the idea came from gluing their fingers firmly together.

I think the OP mispelled his named. There should be a T instead of the V.

You lived in the Deep South at one time, didn't you?

His funeral service will be closed casket, unless they can somehow pry it open.
