Harry Louis “Pinky” Seeger II, 95, of Bardstown, died Wednesday, Dec. 13, 2017, at Bardstown Health and Rehab Center. He was born Sept. 22, 1922, in Louisville. He was a championship quality tennis player, an avid golfer that had three holes-in-one that he was very proud of, and a true connoisseur of the Bourbon experience and lifestyle.
