I created a board game named The Game Of Baseball. Bob was the only one who believed in me and helped sell the 10 thousand I produced. I loved the man!

My heart goes out to you all on this sorrowful day and in the days ahead. I remember Mr. Harman from early in my childhood on Spencer Road in Devon. He was the "toy man" who took joy in bringing samples of the newest toys for the neighborhood children to enjoy. I remember in particular Frisbees and an ant farm that I loved. Also, warm memories of our times at the Jersey shore, where he took us water skiing. His passing is a great loss. I will remember him fondly. Love and hugs to his beautiful family.

I cannot tell you how very sad this news made me. Your dad was a very special person, and so, so kind to me. I have nothing but wonderful memories of him -- from Waynesborough to Stone Harbor to the Yacht Club to fishing, to my wedding, and even last summer in Fred's. I send you my most sincere condolences. Please let me know if there is anything I can do. Much love.
