Harry was born in 1944 in Los Angeles. His parents, Mary and Peter Scolinos, were both Greek immigrants to the United States. They built a home in San Gabriel to which they moved with Harry in 1947. Harry�s mother still lives in that same house.

Harry grew up in San Gabriel and attended Washington and Coolidge Grammar Schools. Harry played both baseball and football at San Gabriel High School and graduated in 1962. Harry went to college at Cal Poly Pomona where he was student body vice-president. He graduated in 1966 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Social Science.

After graduation, Harry enlisted in the Army and went to Officer Candidate School, and became a 2nd Lieutenant in the Infantry in 1967. He subsequently attended Military Intelligence School and went to Vietnam in 1969. While in Vietnam he was awarded the Bronze Star, Vietnam Service Medal, and Vietnam Campaign Medal.

Harry and his wife Connie were married in 1968. Connie�s parents are also Greek immigrant. Connie graduated from the Hollywood Presbyterian Hospital School of Nursing and became a registered nurse. They have five children: Tasia Scolinos, 31; Alicia Scolinos Meddars, 29; Lea Scolinos, 27; Peter Scolinos, 25; and Christiana, 20. He has two grandchildren.

Upon receiving his honorable discharge from th Army in 1970, Harry enrolled in night law school while working full time for the Automobile Club.

Throughout his years in Pasadena, Harry has been involved in numerous local non-profit entities.
