Not sure what to say?

I had the privilege of having an informal dinner with Harrison only weeks before he died. During this, our ONLY meeting, we discovered that we had much in common, in particular in the arena of historic preservation. Not only did we know some of the same people, but he discovered (purely by chance!) that I was very much familiar with a particular steam engine that was developed by one of his relatives. I made an open-ended offer to show this apparatus to Biff, who was quite enthusiastic...

Susan,Peace be with you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Sad to learn of Biff´s death. He and Susan were friends/good neighbors for 30+ years in our small village, south of Annapolis. We miss them. Biff was one fine human being. And fine lawyer. Dave and Verna Banner, West River, Maryland

Biff was a long-time friend of my husband. I had the pleasure of making his acquaintance around four years ago, when I also met Susan. Biff was a kind, thoughtful person who embraced life fully, as reflected in the variety of interests he actively pursued. His warmth, curiosity and compassion made him a wonderful listener and a good friend. Losing him is a great sadness. My thoughts are with Susan and his extended family.

Dear Wetherill family, We are so sorry for your loss. Harrison did legal work for all members of our family in the Annapolis area for over 30 years. He was an extraordinary attorney and was well respected by everyone. It was a pleasure knowing him and he will be greatly missed. The Heath family

My dearest Wetherill family. I am so sorry to hear about Biff. He was a wonderful man. He was my mentor when I first started working for him in Annapolis. He supported me starting my own cleaning business on the side, and it grew so large that I am now retired from it. I still remember Susan bringing fresh cut flowers to the office for me. What a wonderful family. Biff will be truly missed. Susan Moulder

Eight Bells Harrison Wetherill. Harrison was one of the nicest people I have met. When I was Race Committee Chairman at The Corinthian Yacht Club of Philadelphia he came down on Wednesday night and quickly volunteered to help out. He became a Race Committee regular, always there on Wednesday evenings and Sunday afternoons for the High School Sailing program. Always smiling and with a kind word for everyone. This past year he took over as Race Committee Chairman and did a phenomenal job....
