Harry Leonard Turtledove

Mr. Turtledove--that is how I knew him & could not call him Harry, even after 40+ years. He was my first boss at Heims & Turtledove in the early 60's, the elegant man I admired who taught me how to write a press release & all things advertising, who introduced me to chamber music that was always on in his office. He was a mentor who was self-effacing, whose even, dignified demeanor was constant. I smile at my fortune of knowing him, of having lunch with him last August & rejoice that I was...

I can hear Harry's voice in my ear telling me to write something nice for a change. (I really can hear his voice)
Truly a man of character with unquestionable integrity. He was kindest most well liked man I have ever known. Over the years I've met lawyers, politicians, doctors and ordinary guys like me in Portland that had known Harry. But I have never met a person who felt ill feelings toward him.
I will truly miss our monthly lunch date.
My sincere condolences to...

I met Harry at the Metro Family YMCA. I was blessed to have been in his presence. His wisdom

Harry was truly a man of integrity, and a man of his word. He was honest, demanding, and encouraging. Tremendously intelligent, kind. and funny. Harry will be missed. We are so sorry to hear of his loss. Our sympathy to his loved ones.

One of the good ones is gone. We miss you, Harry!

We met Harry when he and Reza were members at the YMCA metro. Over the years we have enjoyed many conversations and meals together. We will always cherish the memories of Harry making and sharing his famously good bread! A special man and friend, we will truly miss him, but celebrate having known him.
