Not sure what to say?

I met Harry through my wife Kathleen McLellan in the eighties. He took us to the San Juan Islands where we rented a cabin on the sea shore where we could sit on the porch and watch the sun reflect off the water. Harry would play his Kalimba. He was very kind to me and patient. He took us to the most interesting restaurants and even took us to meet his father in Seattle and have lunch with him. When I bought an office in the Denver area he helped me decorate it with paintings and the...

Harry was my boss at Viscount Records in downtown Portland. He co-produced my first album and was a good friend and collaborator.

I met Harry over a year ago when my sister, Constance, had surgery. I was impressed with his kindness and willingness/desire to make sure that Constance was getting the very best care from the surgeon and hospital staff. He seemed to be a very sweet soul. So sorry he is no longer with us.

For the past 20 years, I have looked forward to my meetings with Harry. Since hearing the news of his death last month, I have thought of him daily. He had such an appreciation of life and such a lovely spirit. He is truly missed!

We were Harry's clients and friends for about 27 years. We referred many friends and relatives to Harry's office. I miss him terribly. We are so glad that we attended his service on Sunday. It was quite a party to have so many people in the same room who appreciated and loved him. We will always remember Harry Callow. I saw Harry on Thursday before he died; and of course, I wish we had gone to lunch at our new favorite Asian restaurant, but, we did not have time that day.

Paul Bennett, please send me your contact information.

Thank you,

We saw Harry for tax and financial matters for years. Like others, the meetings were about other things first and financial talk last. For several years, we experienced a series of life crises. Harry was one of the few people we knew who could be both understanding and non-judgmental. We will never, ever forget the kindness he showed to us.

Harry gave so much to others, including his four-legged friend. The love Harry showed to his aging dog Zachia was truly touching. He often...

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Harry's passing. His tax advice was always preceded by a conversation about art, music, books and travel. I will miss our conversations and the sound of his laughter.
