I knew Harry when he lived in Fresno some 35 years ago. We both worked for the same school district (he was the veteran, it was my first job). He was a wonderful role model to me as a new school psychologist and I will never forget him. He was funny, honest, fair, compassionate, considerate and thoughtful. He was a good man and a good friend. And he was loved.
