Harry Flomenberg was born on August 28, 1925. He had an older brother who died as an infant and two sisters, one older and one younger.  Unfortunately, he lost his dad prior to his Bar Mitzvah and his mom prior to his wedding in his early 20s.  Despite the impact of these early losses on his family, he was first and foremost a family man who put his wife, children, and grandchildren first.  He made time for them, imparted values to them, and, if he ever felt they had been done wrong, he fiercely protected them. 
 
He was a bright student who skipped half grades 3 times during school and graduated high school at 16. He aspired to go to college, but World War II, and the need to work full time to support his family precluded that.  He started as a letter carrier in the post office where he quickly rose through the ranks until he became the direct assistant to the postmaster of Philadelphia. Eventually, he achieved a rank in the multi-state postal region that was equivalent to being postmaster of a large city like Philadelphia.  He began to do industrial engineering work and, though he lacked a formal degree in that discipline, he became head of that section in the postal region and had numerous college-trained industrial engineers who reported to him. 
 
He was a natural leader and rose to the top of the leadership chain in multiple organizations connected to his work, his synagogue, and others.  For many years he was principal of a Sunday School which was part of the Hebrew Sunday School Society. 
 
He passed away on March 14, 2021, survived by his wife Ruth, his son Neal, daughter-in-law Phyllis, grandchildren Jacob, Samuel, and Sarah and their spouses Ashley and Samantha, and his three great-grandchildren, Jeremy, Skylar, and Arden.
