I stumbled accross Harry's blog by accident. I started reading them and was finding myself feeling like I had known Harry. I have not but when I read about his cancer and his battle to live I felt strong compassion for him. I wish I could have known Harry and could have given him cheerful words and a few get well cards. I read the last blog where he said he was near his time to go so I looked him up on the internet and found his guest book. Harry you are in the hands of our Lord and may you...

Except for several telephone conversations I never met Harry, but I feel deeply indebted to him.

Di is taking great care of me,...

Harry has been a great inspiration to me over about 20 years in the publishing field with LLH Technology Publishing. He didn't have to help me, and give advice, be he did and willingly. He has been a great mentor and will be sorely missed. I can't get him out of my mind, and will always remember his great sense of humor. I love Harry. ~ Kelly Johnson

There are many of us who never met Harry in person who will deeply miss him. He was a legend in our radio/communications hobby.
Our deepest condolences to Di and his family and friends.
