Not sure what to say?

I am sorry to just learn of Harry´s passing. I worked with him and other Carrascolendas cast as well as humorist John Henry Faulk in the musical Celebration! In Austin, Texas in 1973. We had a great run with full house SRO most nights. He was a kind, warm talented intellectual with a great heart. I am privileged to have known him. Laurie Coker ( Laurie Lynn when I knew Harry)

It was so long ago that I watched it but I have never forgotten that Spanish speaking gringo in that tiger costume(LOL). I was intrigued by this white guy speaking perfect, and I mean perfect Spanish!. I remember...

My life is better for having known Harry and witnessed some of his many lives. I always admired his alegría de vivir.
