Though I didn't know Harlie well, I did meet him and his charming wife Pat at a gathering at his son Mark's house. And to meet him once was enough to remember him--his commanding presence and Irish wit. Indeed, it was a great and beautiful man he was. Bob E. joins me in condolences to the family, but more than that, in celebration of his life. Erin Go Bragh! And Godspeed, Harlie Wilson.
