We are sad to announce the passing of Harry J. Manolopoulos of Ellicott City, MD, and Mattapoisett, MA. He died at age 74 on December 12, 2022. He was born in Richland, Washington, on April 7, 1948, to John and Elizabeth Manolopoulos. He was the eldest son of seven siblings and grew up in Richland. For college, he majored in business at Eastern Washington State University. Harry was a loving husband to Cassie Manolopoulos for fifty years. He had four daughters; Joanna Ingham, Melodie Manolopoulos, Charissa Ruel, and Tessa Manolopoulos. He enjoyed spending time with his six grandchildren; Marina, Mac, Macy, Harry, Martin, and Margot. Also, he’ll be sorely missed at the head of the family table by his son-in-laws; Graeme, Manuel, and Jason. His career as a manager with Bechtel took him all over the world, and he had many stories about his job in procurement. His favorite thing after work was to put on his “uniform,” and he was an avid fan of C-Span news. He was the ultimate family man with a sense of humor that made everyone laugh. In his retirement years, he enjoyed playing golf and spending the summers in Mattapoisett. A private memorial ceremony with close family members will be held at Cushing Cemetery in Mattapoisett.
