Dr. Harris Bernard "Barry" Kram

I can't believe it has been 10 years since I lost the best college friend I ever had. Barry was so much fun to be with and he was so special in so many ways. Thanks for the great times we had together and I always think how lucky I was to have a friend like you. Love always from your fellow Colorado Buffalo, Dave MacDevitt

I can't believe it has been 10 years since I lost my best college buddy ever. He was going to visit me here in Arizona the week he passed. He even had his plane ticket. We had so much fun together and I'm always thinking how lucky I was to enjoy life with him. We will never forget you Barry and how you made our lives better. You were truly unique and one of a kind! Love always, Your Colorado Buffalo Brother Dave

Here it is all these years later and the good memories of my friend Barry only grow stronger with time . He would be so pleased to know that we all are better for having experienced the pleasure of his company.

I am so sad to hear that Harris has passed. I was just thinking about some of the teachers in my life that left a positive impression on me. I decided to research Harris online and discovered his passing. It is surprising to find this out because of his age.

I was 14 and 15 when he was my teacher at Kunsberg school at the National Jewish hospital. I always looked forward to seeing his smiling face in class.

Barry, I have been trying to find you while I have been working in New York. I met you in Adelaide, Australia, stayed with you in Denver, and you came to stay in New York. I have been so hoping to see you and spend time with you again. I was so sad to read of your death, and that we will never spend time together again. I am returning to Adelaide and now know that you won't be able to visit me there.
You were such a clever man, and such a great friend.
Love

Barry, I searched for you online and found this...I am shocked, saddened and disbelieving. I valued our long ago friendship and the time we spent together. You were a wonderful man, a great teacher and a nice friend. "las nubes, mi amigo."
God Bless You and Rest In Peace.

It has taken me a long time to come back here and write this. I read Nancy's note and I think, I too, am waiting for his phone call, to hear his voice. Australia was so far away yet the link between us seemed so close. So many years, so little time. Harris, it was in your heart to return again. Maybe, soon, part of you will truly be here forever.
Whatever happens, the sound of your voice, your written words, your love and friendship, memories of special times and places, will always be...

I send this note into cyberspace knowing not where it will land. My brother died March 31, 2006; just over four months have passed, and still his death seems unreal. I keep waiting for a phone call, simultaneously longing to call him and hear his voice. Is it really possible we can never speak again? My baby/big (and only) brother is irreplaceable. It does bring comfort to know he was as loved by others as he was by us. Thank each of you for writing.

Tribute to Harris prepared for his memorial service held 4/8/06

Harris was my sweetheart. He was one of the sweetest men I've ever known. He was also the bravest. During his illness he never complained, got angry, nor depressed. I'm sure he experienced fear, as did I, we never shared it because we were committed to a show of strength to fight his cancer. And he did put up a valiant fight. Helping him live, fight, and ultimately die was a privelege for me and a gift from him. ...
