Many a day in the tennis court . Fond memories of chats about the world. Harry’s Naval experiences and the politics of the day. We will miss him. A man if the world.

Was a close friend of Harry for many years. Were closely involved in business and tennis.
I have many fond memories of some good times we spent together. We were almost
identical in age.

While I did not have the privilege of knowing him, Mr. Greenwald was a member of Society of Plastics Engineers since 1957, one of the longest tenures in our Society’s history. He was a member of our Chicago Section and our Plastics Decorating and Assembly Division, where his contributions were felt in the fledgling years of our industry. His recognition as a “Plastics Pioneer” is appropriate and well-deserved.
On behalf of all of Harry’s colleagues at the Society, we offer our deepest condolences to his family and friends. May his memory be a blessing.
