We'll Miss You Harry!
Deb White
Harry Kilmer came to Manatts, Inc. in the summer of 1984. After retiring from farming and the restaurant business, he decided he still needed something to occupy his time. The signing department was in its infancy then and needed a helping hand. After learning the traffic control ins and outs for several seasons, Harry managed the department and only in the last few years cut back on his work schedule and encouraged others to take over.

For those of us who have come in contact with Harry Kilmer since his beginning at Manatt's seventeen years ago, we assure you that the fondness that is felt for him is no surprise to us. His humor and ability to laugh, both at himself and with others, was contagious. His frank demeanor was refreshing. He shall be missed.
