Not sure what to say?

I grew up in MD City and went to school with Harry. Definitely one of a kind! RIP

There are so many memories and words for Harry and all the wonderful qualities that made him very special to all who had the pleasure of time spent with him. Not just at Goddard but, the Cape, and Houston, his memory will live on as he was one of a kind. I learned so much from Harry over the 15 years we worked together. Harry, you´re a good friend leaving here to soon. You will be missed dearly. Our paths will cross again. Reese and family, thoughts and prayers are with you. Harry beamed...

Well, we really lost a great guy. One less bright light. Harry was the best. So funny, so smart, so real, so thoughtful. We had know each other for ~ 40 years and I can honestly say it was a privilege. I have so many memories that he will always be close to my heart. I can´t help but smile when I think of some of our antics from the early days in the Nimbus Control Center. He was a real trooper and continued to fight through his medical issues. He honestly loved life and I can´t...

I've had the pleasure of working with Harry since I joined the HST project in 1991. Harry was always pleasant to be around, never a cross word about anyone.

We both have a love of cars, though he has had much cooler ones than me. Harry was never braggy but always had interesting stories to tell, usually about...

Harry was such a wonderful person. I worked with him on the Nimbus and Hubble projects meeting over 35 years ago. We shared our love of sports cars and he always had new pictures to show me whenever we met. I'll miss you my gentle giant.

Harry was one of the kindest people I ever know. He always had a smile on his face. His voice was gentle and I don't think I ever heard him get angry with anyone in 30 years or say a cross word. He loved working and I believe he could have easily stayed home for health reasons, but he didn't. He wanted to get back to work. His dedication to NASA and Hubble was amazing. I miss you Harry!

One of the nicest ever smiling individuals I ever met. My condolences and prayers for your family
