Harry's interest in people inspired everyone he touched to improve themselves and achieve goals they never thought possible. Harry devoted his life to the working men and women he served . He inspired each of us to make better human beings of ourselves. He was unique, and the world is a better place for having known him.

I've had the distinct pleasure of meeting, knowing and working with Harry Van Arsdale Jr. As mentioned in the appropriate quote serving as his legacy, he DID have "... passion and concern for the well being and dignity of others ..." He has and still does serve as an inspiration in my own life. God bless you, Harry.

I would like to thank the Memorial Association especially Hy Greenblatt, President for allowing this project to go forward. I would also like to acknowledge Local 3 member John Daddario for his expertise and patience putting this historic web site together. I am confident that by sharing the virtues of Harry Van Arsdale Jr. with the world the Memorial Association is fulfilling its commitment to instill a little bit of Harry in each of us.

I am working as a volunteer to establish a regional training center in honor of Jack Henning, recently retired head of the California Labor Federation AFL-CIO. The use of a Web has giving me an fund raising idea to use with the 200 plus affiliates to the state fed with more than 200 members. Appreciate learning more about the Van Ardale memorial. idea

I was brought up in the New York City area and did not become an Ibew member until I came to California. As a youngster both my father and my grandfather talked alot about Harry in glowing terms "He was the most well respected union leader in the New York city area", I was told this many times. Glad to see this Tribute to a great man in the IBEW's history.

Absolutely fantastic! Mr. Van Arsdale Jr. was more than a great man... He was a role model in the past who continues to stand tall and proud as the example of what we should all strive to be as we struggle into the future. It is difficult to honor a man with such outstanding achievements in a manner that can express the overwhelming gratitude and respect he so very much deserves from our IBEW membership, and the Union Movement as a whole.

I tip my hat to the creators of this site for the remarkeable job done on a tribute to a person who was, in our hearts and minds, more than a man.

I have had the honor of meeting Harry Van Arsdale Jr. and hearing his inspiring speeches many times during my years as a member of Local Union # 3 NYC. Thanks to his ability to conceive new ideas and acheive them , is why myself and my family live the good life that we have today. From my apprentice days living in Electchester to the home and job I have today , all revolve around the nucleus that is Harry van Arsdale Jr. It is nice to see him remebered in this modernistic manner, a medium I am certain he would have been using to continue the advancement of the worker had it existed in his day.

Harry Van Arsdale Jr., was one of the giants of the American Labor movement. All of his life, he fought to ensure that working people would enjoy the benefits that we now take for granted: good pay, decent working conditions, and a worry-free retirement. His vision of attractive, affordable housing created Electchester, where thousands of working men and women (myself included) were able to raise their families in a wonderful community. We will always treasure the memory of Harry Van Arsdale Jr.

A very interesting site. I stumbled upon it quite by accident. I was wondering when the links would be up and running, and if you were going to use some things for the Principal for a day ceremony we had recently at our school.

Thank you to those of you who put this site together. I believe that it is a real tribute to Mr. Van Arsdale. I am a 3rd year apprentice in the finest local in the world. In the short years that I have in the business, I have heard many stories from the senior members of the local, and this is a great way that I could take time for myself to learn about his life and his dedication to the members of Local Union #3- Thank You

It gives me immense pleasure to witness this great "tribute," seeing a web page entering a new millenium and carrying on this great man's legacy. Having had the opportunity to work for him in many of organized labor's endeavors, I am greatly appreciative of Harry's accomplishments and most certainly respected his untireless personality. He was the best...unequaled in my lifetime...loved him...miss having him around...In my thoughts often.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank God for the memory of Mr. Van Arsdale, a very great man, a man who had such foresight and thought and compassion regarding the working class people of America. He stood up, head and shoulder above the crowd, fighting and rallying for what he thought was right and just and fair for the men and women who worked so hard in their field. I saw Mr. Van Arsdale once briefly on a visit to Bayberry and he was not too stuck-up to wave to me and gave me that great big smile. This was just a couple of years before his passing, and I am now glad to say, at least, I did see him once! My husband retires in a year's time with, what we think, will be a good pension, and which will make our remaining years comfortable ones.

After moving from the Island of Jamaica, living in England and moving to America in the 60's, I can now say thank God for America, and thank God for Mr. Harry Van Arsdale.

As a 30 year member of local #3 and an instructor at the apprentice school, it was Harry van Arsdale that inspired myself to give back to loacl #3 in a way I could contribute the most to my union ! That way, has been to be an instructor at the school since 1984, teaching our apprentices and to teaching the NICET fire alarm course. Mr Van Arsdale always stressed the importance of education and I am proud that I am continuing what he held important to Local#3, the education of its members.

A really neat website and is certainly fitting for a real fine man. I well remeber conversations with Harry at a couple of conventions (Kansas City and Atlantic City) and he always had some real insight to pass along to us younger fellows, (at the time). His efforts and accomplishments for working men and women will certainly be remebered for generations.

My privilege knowing him as a great labor leader, humanitarian and mentor. From my personal recollections as a young boy on picket lines with my dad as well as attending union functions throughout my career, he always displayed great vision, values and integrity. This is a wonderful tribute and legacy for the millenium.

A Great Man of the Century. It is a tribute to his legacy to provide information about him in a way that would reach workers everwhere. One year ago if you searched the net for "Van Arsdale" it would've come up empty. How fantastic that Harry can now be reached, touched, felt, and heard through the internet!

Harry Van Arsdale Jr was the only individual I have ever personally met to whom the label "great man" could truly be applied. My life has been immeasurably affected by his, and what he accomplished over the decades and I will never forget that. God bless Harry Van Arsdale Jr.

I was the co-supervisor of the local 3 apprentice program at Humanities HS for ten years. This web site is super. Many do not know that Harry Van Ardsdale was also instrumental in the formation of the UFT at it's infancy. He was a visionary in his lifetime and a wonderful friend to the "working men and women" of our city.

I also taught for 10m years at Empire State College. My field was Labor History. Please extend my warmest regards to the entire staff at the apprentice program.

Thanks: Bob Balogh

After losing my wife to brain cancer in 1984, Mr. Van arsdale sent me a hand written letter telling me how sorry he was for my loss. It just blew me away, that a man as powerful as Harry would take the time for a average journeyman like me. The day he passed away I cried like a baby, this world lost a very special person, that comes along once in a lifetime. I was glad it was in mine. thank you

I would like to thank Harry Van Arsdale for his foresight, and dedication to the well being and rights of workers in this country. If not for Harry Van Arsdale, we would not enjoy all the benefits and standards we have to be grateful for today. It is now up to us to maintain and fight for the standards he helped establish. Thank you.

As a student of Industrial Labor Relations and a third generation member of local # 3, I am proud to see the Harry Van Arsdale Jr. web site. Harry would be pleased of the accomplishments and advancements the membership has achieved since his unfortunate passing. "People who work with their hands and their brains produce the wealth of this nation. Their aims and aspirations are to make a better life for thhemselves and their children. That's what it's all about" If we as an industry continue to engage in these particular ideals, local # 3; and all of organized labor, will continue to strive to unimaginable levels of greatness throughout the twenty-first century and beyond.

Fraternally,

Matthew Giuliano III MyWay164@aol.com

i am glad to see that a great labor leader like brother van arsdale is being recognized. he truly was the working man's friend and champion. he always had time to stop and talk to you. he'd ask about you and your job, health, and family. and he would remember you the next time you met. i feel fortunate to have met him and been under his guidance as a labor leader. my life is better because of him. god bless you brother harry.

I had the good foutune to hear Harry speak on many occasions.I often wonder if my retirement would be as secure if Harry Van Arsdale Jr.would not have happened on the scene. All the man had to do was walk on to the podium, and you either heard applause or silence, the respect was wonderful. He was a great man, ahead of his time.This web site is right on time. Keep up the good work.
