When I first arrived at UCLA more than 25 years ago, I certainly knew of the legendary Dr. Harold Hargis, but had never had the opportunity to meet this great leader of our specialty. When I first met him, I recall being amazed that someone of his stature in our profession could be so gentle and humble. He was, and continues to be, an inspiration to me.
One rarely meets a truly great man such as Dr. Hargis. I consider myself blessed to have had to pleasure of working along side him, and calling him my friend.
There will never be another like him.

Thank you for teaching me surgical skills, and thank you even more for teaching me how to think and carry myself.

Harold,
I'm looking at your photo as a write this and feel overwhelmingly thankful that you were such a bright light in my professional life. When I was new at UCLA, you and Frank were the senior faculty who were most welcoming and professional father figures in my life. I was reared to conduct myself with good manners and respect toward others in all aspects of my life. You and Frank were both outstanding guides along the way.
Whenever I had time for lunch in the cafeteria, i always looked to see if you were there. We steered away from school politics & frustrations; well,... you gently steered me away from those topics and into other worlds of european history, photography, human nature, inventions, even advertising (Remember Sarah Palin?). For many years now, I add jalapeño peppers to my salad because of you. I don't really even like those peppers that much.
Recently, being a couple older guys in the 5th floor corridor we could speak as friendly colleagues who greeted each other with big smiles. I felt so honored by that. I have used thoughts from you (with attribution, of course) to teach moral lessons to my son & daughter.
I miss you.

Dr. Harold Hargis was a dedicated career military officer and an accomplished university professor. He was best known for his pioneering surgical advances in orthognathic surgery.
I his later years he dedicated his professional life to teaching dental students clinical oral surgery skills. He was respected and loved by all who knew him.

One of the kindest men I have met in my 30+ years at UCLA. A gentleman, a wonderful mentor to younger students, and a warm hearted colleague.

Dr Hargis was loved by everyone at UCLA. There will nevere be anyone with such grace, dignity and poise such as our beloved Hargis. He truly enjoyed his life to the fullest and continued to do what he loved until the very end. Dr Hargis will always be a part of the UCLA family and his legacy will live on forever.
