LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, that I
JR., currently residing in Camp Hill,

FIRST: I direct that all of my legally binding debts,
expenses of my last illness and funeral expenses shall be paid by
my Executrix hereinafter nar-ed, from my estate as soon after my
decease as shall be found convenient.
SECOND: I give and bequeath my automobiles, household and
personal effects and other tangible personal property of every kind
(not including cash, securities or trusts), together with any
existing insurance thereon, to my wife, PATRICIA M. HARRIS, if she
survives me by thirty days. Should my wife, PATRICIA M. HARRIS,
not be living on the thirty-first day after my death, I give and
bequeath my automobiles, household and personal effects and other
tangible personal property of every kind (not including cash,
securities or trusts), together with any existing insurance
thereon, in accordance with a letter to be kept w_Lth this Last Will
and Testament. To the extent that such letter fails to dispose of
all tangible personal property or if the letter is not in existence
at my death, then I give such undesignated personal property to my
sons, CHRISTOPHER HOLT HARRIS and MARK HOLT HARRIS, to be divided
among them as they may agree. In the event that no agreement is
reached, the same shall be divided as my Executor
shall determine or be sold by my Executor and added to the residue
of my estate.
THIRD: I give, and bequeath the rest, residue and remainder
of my estate, whether real, personal or mixed, and of any nature
whatsoever ar~d where~•er situated, unto my wife, PATRICIA M. HARRIS,
providing she shall survive me by thirty days.
FOURTH: In the event that my wife, PATRICIA M. HARRIS, should
predecease me or die within thirty days of the date of my death,
then I give, devise and bequeath the rest, residue and remainder of
my estate, whether real, personal or mixed, and of any nature,

r..i
A. ONE-HALF (1/2) thereof, to my son, MARK HOLT HARRIS. In
the event that my son, MARK HOLT HARRIS, should predecease me or
die within thirty days of the date of my death„ I give this 1/2
share to his issue, per stirpes. In default of such issue, then
this share shall be added to the share for my son,. CHRISTOPHER HOLT
HARRIS.
B. ONE-HALF (1/2) thereof to my son CHRISTOPHER HOLT HARRIS.
If my son CHRISTOPHER HOLT HARRIS is under the age of Twenty-two
(22) years, his share shall be held by the Trustee hereinafter
named, IN TRUST, for the following uses and purposes:
1. The Trustee shall collect all assets of my estate,
including the proceeds from any insurance policies which may be a
part of my estate or otherwise payable to t:he beneficiaries
hereunder, and shall create a separate trust for the benefit of my
son. The Trustee shall hold, manage, invest and reinvest the
property in such trust and collect the income therefrom until my
son has attained the age of twenty-two.
(a) While my son is under the age of twenty-one years,
my Trustee shall use for his benefit so much of the income of his
trust as my Trustee considers necessary or desirable, for the
welfare, support, education (including college, both undergraduate
and graduate) and maintenance of my son, taking into consideration
his other readily available assets and sources of income.
(b) Whenever my Trustee determines that the income of my
son from all sources known to the Trustee is not :sufficient for his
reasonable support, maintenance and education, and that of his
immediate family, the Trustee may pay to him or use for his
benefit, so much of the principal of his trust as the Trustee
determines to be required for those purposes.
(c) After my son attains the age twenty-one, thereafter
to pay to mfr son the net income together with so much of the
principal thereof as Trustee shall consider advisable for the
support and education (including college, both undergraduate and
graduate) of such child after taking into consideration his other
readily available assets and sources of income.
(d) When my son attains the age of twenty-two years, my
Trustee shall distribute to him the then remaining principal and
accumulated net income of his trust.
- _~ ~~~ ,
(e) Upon the death of my son, CHRISTC-PHER HOLT HARRIS,
the Trustee shall distribute his trust, as then constituted, to his
issue, per stirpes. In default of such issue thE:n his share shall
be added to the share for my son, MARK HOLT HARRIS.
2. The Trustee may make payments to or on behalf of any
person who is the beneficiary of any trust hex,eunder but in no
event, however, shall payments be made to any creditor or other
such person because of anticipation of payment by the beneficiary,
and any such claim made by way of anticipation by the beneficiary
shall be of no validity or legal effect.
3. The Trustee, at its discretion, may e:{haust all of the
principal and income in carrying out the purposes of this trust and
should the amount held in trust be or become so small as to
make it impractical or economically unfeasible to continue
holding said amount in trust, the Trustee may pa.y the total
amount of said trust directly to the beneficiary or to a parent or
guardian of said beneficiary or place said amount in a savings
account for the benefit of said minor until said. minor becomes of
age.
FIFTH: I hereby nominate, constitute, and appoint my wife,
PATRICIA M. HARRIS, as Executrix of this, my Last Will and Testa-
ment. In the event that my said wife shall predecease me, or be
unwilling or unable to act as my Executor, as aforesaid, then I
nominate, constitute and appoint VINCENT GRE;NKEVICH, without
necessity for posting security regardless of state of residence, as
Executor of this, my Last Will and Testament. All references to
the Executrix herein shall be applicable to said substitute
Executor.
SIXTH: I hereby nominate, constitute and appoint MERRILL
LYNCH TRUST COMPANY OF AMERICA, as Trustee of the trusts created by
this, my Last Will and Testament, without the necessity for posting
security regardless of state of residence.
SEVENTH: In the event that my wife, PATRICIA M. HARRIS, shall
predecease me, I hereby designate and appoint NICOLE SHUCK and
JAMES SHUCK, as guardians of the person or per:~ons of any minor
child or children, for the duration of the minority of said child
or children, and said guardian may retain custody of said child or
children in any locality. It is my desire that said guardians
shall keep my children together as a family unit until such time as
my youngest child shall reach the age of eighteen years.
~--~--~ 3
In the event that NICOLE SHUCK or JAMES SHUCK should
predecease me, then I appoint the survivor of: them to act as
guardian for my minor child. In the event th<~t neither NICOLE
SHUCK or JAMES SHUCK is willing or able to serve as guardian, then
I appoint MARISA GRENKEVICH to act as guardian fo:r the minor child.
In the event that MARISA GRENKEVICH is unable or unwilling to serve
as guardian, then I appoint VINCENT GRENKEVICH and FRANCESCA
GRENKENVICH, or the survivor of them to act as guardian for the
minor child.

or legal guardian in the case of a minor beneficiary). Upon such

a parent or legal guardian, other than the Trustmaker, in the case
of minor beneficiary).

beneficiary thereof, or for such other purpose as it deems
appropriate, the Trustee may in its sole and absolute discretion
