Harry M. B. HURWITZ

DR. HARRY M. B. HURWITZ Passed away after a brief illness in his 95th year on August 4, 2018, surrounded by his loving family. He was a much-beloved husband to Hilde Thornton; father to Marc, Sebastian, and Christopher Hurwitz; and to Dianne, Ian, and Robin Thornton; grandfather to 11 remarkable grandchildren, and great-grandfather to two. Born in Berlin, Germany to Richard and Meta (née Schlossman), he grew up with a passion for music that won him the chance to guest- conduct the Cape Town Symphony at the age of 14. He completed his PhD at University of London after graduate studies with Karl Popper. Harry became a research psychologist, working at a number of academic institutions in Great Britain and the US before settling in Canada in 1971 to become Chair of the Department of Psychology at University of Guelph, Ontario. Throughout his life he studied and adored classical music, art, and history, and was the author of a blog on the philosophy of science and language well into his 90s. Above all these accomplishments, he will always be remembered as our dear Dad, Papa, Bapa, Gramps, Uncle Harry, and friend. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Doctors Without Borders.
