He was an incredible older brother, protective of his younger siblings and setting an example of goodness and integrity. His protective nature has definitely translated into fatherhood as him and Abby enjoy their first months with little Robin.

His creativity and sportsmanship made being his younger sibling an every day adventure. From "Fear Factor", in which Haley and Harry were instructed to "be brave" and eat worms to "Gladiator", in which they were instructed to beat each other up in the yard, Joe was always the creator, rule maker, and referee of whatever game they were playing.

He is now a pediatric physician in CHOP's Emergency Department and spends his time hunting, growing orchids, and hanging out with his partner, Mariah.

Harry and Haley were two peas in a pod growing up, as they were the closest in age. Nothing has changed since then either. To this day, Haley calls Harry up for advice, a shoulder to cry on, or a good laugh. Currently, Harry is pursuing a master's degree to become a Physician Assistant in Harrisonburg, VA and spends his time studying, cooking, and hanging out with his girlfriend, Kaela.
