He was preceded in death by his parents, George and Mary Hronas, and his uncles, James and Nick Hronas and Gus Artemakis. He leaves behind to cherish his memory his wife, Christina and son, William, his brother, Angelo, sister-in-law, Anastasia, and nephews, George and Christopher of Dallas, Texas, as well as his loving mother-in-law, Marie Dunavan, brother and sister-in-law, Stavros and Mary Sigouros, and nephew, George Sigouros Dunavan of Athens, Greece. Also surviving him are many aunts, uncles, and cousins. Harry was born in Little Rock, Arkansas on July 6, 1952. He graduated from Little Rock Central High in 1971. He went to work for several banks in Little Rock, returning to the family restaurant, the Wallace Grill, when needed. He joined the family business in earnest when he married Christina, and worked there for 19 years. When downtown Little Rock underwent renewal, Harry went to work for Griffin Leggett Healey and Roth Funeral Homes. He worked there for ten years, and made many friends. There were several families that would request Harry for their loved ones' services, and he was honored to serve them. Harry retired due to health issues in late 2009. He suffered from congestive heart failure, and ultimately it would take his life. He was an animal lover, cherishing both his and his family's pets. He was a lifelong member of Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church in Little Rock, and was actively involved in the annual Food Festival for many years. He loved the church hymns and would sing along with the choir on Sundays. The family wishes to thank Dr. John Ransom, Dr. Steve Hutchins and their loving office staffs for their support. Harry asked that in lieu of flowers, memorials be made to the Humane Society of Pulaski County or Arkansas Children's Hospital Cardiac Department.
