Harry went to Stephen F. Austin Senior
High School for two years before he went to Kinkaid. He was on the Austin debate
team, which is where I met him. We went
on out of town bus trips at least three
times a year. If I had to sum up Harry
in once sentence it would read "He was a GREAT guy." He had a sense of humour right out of this world. Harry
loved to laugh. He was also highly
intelligent and very mature for his
years, which was another reason I enjoyed his company. In our own way
we were both old souls. He loved
Hawaiian shirts decades before it was
fashionable to wear Hawaiian shirts.
Every time my husband dons one of his
I think of Harry. My maiden name was
Patricia Winniford.

My Sweet Harry. You always had such a great smile and without a doubt could light up a room. You made anyone and everyone feel welcome. You never had a negative thing to say. If only this world could have more people like you it wouldn't be such an ugly place. I know God has a special place for you. You will receive many jewels upon your crown when He gives it to you. I will miss you and the fun times I had whenever I had the chance to be with you . You made me laugh and forget there was anything to worry about whenever I was around you . Have fun as you always did until I see you again.

I became acquainted with Harry through Meetup in 2011. We quickly became friends outside of Meetup since we were both CPAs and I had just started my own CPA practice. Harry became my mentor since he had his own practice for 42 years. I don't know what he saw in me but when he decided to close his practice, he generously referred his clients to me for which I am eternally grateful. Harry was a true Texas gentleman that lived his life large, always a gracious host. I am deeply saddened by his passing and will truly miss him. Rebecca and family I offer my most heartfelt condolences to you all.

Harry was full of life; brought many people together with his Texan charm.
I thank Harry for introducing us. Harry walked me over and introduced me to each person in my first HSF meet-up. He sat me next to Brian and even took our first picture together; we've been inseparable.
Harry will always hold a special place in our hearts.
Sincerely,

I had the distinct pleasure of having dinner with Harry on August 30th. 12 of us sat and laughed and cajoled the night away. Harry has a presence which is much larger than life; and I am indeed blessed for knowing him and having the opportunity to be captured by his unlimited energy for life and enjoying people.... God bless - family and those close to Harry...

Harry Thrower welcome me to HSF, by taking pictures of me with his camera. He was a great host. He always had the most interesting smart conersation, he chose the best upscale places, I felt honored when he invited me to host events, we got along really well because we are both Leo! I cant believe this happened! He was like the patriarc and I love how he wore, his cowboy outfits and his luxury suits. He welcomed everybody and he was adventurer.
