Not sure what to say?

Such fond memories of a brilliant gentle giant...Saul will be remembered for all his wonderful talents, genuine friendship, open honesty and kind ways. So glad our paths crossed.

How could someone be a brilliant engineer, powerful administrator yet, remain a refined artist with a sweet heart and a great sense of fairness? Saul was all that and we'll miss him.

Saul was a great boss and even better friend and mentor. I woudn't describe him as a perfectionist but I have never known anyone else who made such a point to do everthing as best it could be done.

I have missed the great lunches that we shared even though it always meant that I would eat to much.

I too will never forget him and will always value the times that I was blessed to be with him.

Saul defied simple descriptions, his interests were so broad and varied, his passion for them so deep, his perspective was expansive, his focus minute.

He was such a memorable character from my early professional life, the kind we all tell stories about... stories that we use to illuminate valuable lessons we learned.

Saul once told me that people either loved or hated him ( I think it was more likely they feared him) he wasn't the sort of person you could be ambivalent...

Saul was bigger than life but lived too short. He will be missed.

I can't imagine a world without Saul Harrison. He was a buddy of mine for 36 years. As a dedicated violinist he was able to achieve a level not attained by most adult amateur players.
He guided his children through their years of musical study so that they developed a high level of musical skill
and appreciation. Always a great conversationalist, he was able to converse on many, many subjects with expertise. As we take time to remember him, he is probably having lunch with...

Saul was deeply passionate and committed to his job. He and Jim Rudd were two of a kind....they led a superb maintenance department.
Saul was a man of many interests and talents...he will be missed.
