I was so lucky to get to know Harry over the last several years. I will remember him for his sense of humor and his one liners and jokes, often which he was the butt of himself. He had an easy way about him that made one feel at home when around him. I will miss him and I extend the deepest sympathies to all who loved him. Rest easy sweet Harry. It was so nice to have called you a friend.
