Lillian,

With heartfelt sympathy to you and your family,

I worked with Harry for many years during our time together at Lenkurt. He always seemed to have the knowledge to know what to do to solve nearly every problem and the wisdom to know how to proceed. I always appreciated his wise council and calm approach.

Dear Lillian and family,
I had the pleasure and good fortune to work with Harry for many years. I always appreciated his wise counsel and sense of humor. I still remember with a smile his saying, when I'd call out his name, -- "big as life and twice as ugly".

My sympathy on your loss.
