Meet Harris and Robert….

 

 Meet Harris and Robert..

I first met Harris and Robert at a mutual friends’ house party.. I remember being in the kitchen of this old farm house and saw Harris .. We intruded ourselves and I remember I told him how much I loved the  name “Harris”..

Harris and I talked for a long time and then went into a different room where he introduced me to Robert..

I knew I was going to enjoy knowing them both..

My husband and I went to their home for a party soon after.

I then became Facebook Friends with Harris ..

Harris tells me he loves my Facebook posts .. He probably thinks I’m silly .. That’s a good thing !!

There is so much more to Harris and Robert than their “professional titles”….

But, I have to say ….. Their titles speak a lot for their dedication, professionalism, and success !!!

A power couple – no doubt !

Here’s what they do…

HARRIS SAFIER – CEO, Principal Broker – Westwood Metes & Bounds Realty

(Harris has 5 very busy and successful real estate offices in our area )

ROBERT TONNER – American entrepreneur, fashion designer, sculptor, doll artist…CEO of Tonner Doll Company.

(Be sure so google “Tonner Doll Company” and read about the dolls they make and sell .. Tonner makes dolls from characters that  have licensing from corporations such as Warner, DC Comics , Sony Entertainment, Warner Bros, Disney, and much more .. The dolls are exquisite and are sold online and in the world famous toy store – FAO Schwarz)

I wanted to find out a little extra something about these two…

So, I decided to text Harris and asked him these 2 things….

1. Can you answer a question for me (in which I did not know the answer)… so that I can feature it on “Being Hack”?

And…

2. If so, here is the actual question…. “How did you and Robert meet?”

Here was Harris’ text reply ..

Would love it Colleen…
Robert and I were “set up” by a coworker and two friends.

I was asked to accompany Robert to measure some rooms in the home he was in contract to purchase. My co-worker “alledged” that she was busy that Sunday and was not able to accompany him herself.

3 months later, in June 1986, Robert and I went to dinner for our first time.

We’ve been together ever since.

We were married by Judge Karen Peters …in our home…  on September 2, 2012.

 

Wow !! They’ve known each other for almost 30 years .

They are an amazing couple and they are so well loved in our community..

Thank you for being part of “Being Hack” and for being my friend !
