Harry was such a kind man. A true gentleman, a caring man and a gentle giant. He carried me through an unpleasant divorce as my attorney. That was in the 70's and I will never forget his kindness.
I will pray for him and for all of you,his family. God bless you.

My sincere condolences to the Cavanagh family. My years at OCC were made very special because of HJC. He personally helped me through a troubling time I was having many, many years ago with my youngest son when I was working with Mayor Shanken. I will never forget him or his kindness. He truly made OCC a great place to work. God bless him and his family.

Cavanagh family -
Know that Harry is not dead...he merely sleeps, and peacefully awaits eternal life with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, where he will prepare a place for those that follow.
Harry was a good man and a great lawyer. You must be very proud of his life long accomplishments.
As a fellow lawyer who has known Harry since 1962, I applaud his legacy to the legal pofession and will always hold him in high esteem.
May the many memories of his life bring comfort to your hearts as you deal with his passing.

I worked for Harry back in the late l950's and early l960's, during the time the Cavanagh & O'Connor firm was established. He was a great boss, had a wonderful family and a great spirit and love of life and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him will feel the loss.

My sympathy to all of his family. Harry was a great leader at O'Connor Cavanagh for many years. Many lawyers have benefited from his mentoring and example. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Harry was a class act - a true gentleman and a wonderful man to work with and for. While Harry accomplished many things in his life, I always loved him for his huge heart, his kindness, his thoughtfulness, his manners, his wisdom, his grateful spirit, his encouragement and his love of life. Harry always helped others out. May he rest in peace, his legacy live on and his family and friends cherish the memories.

Harry was one of the most special people i can recall meeting during my legal career. The manner in which he treated his clients, the people in the firm and how he conducted himself professionally is an example for all of us. He always displayed that extra bit of wisdom, courage, judgment and faith that separated him for the herd of other attorneys!

Pat, I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you remember me. I am now Dianne Culbertson but was married to Charles Clark. Remember when we all went to your Dad's house on 4th of July and drank his exspensive wine by mistake? If you want to contact me I would love to hear from you. You Dad was an awesome attorney and I now have a Niece and Nephew who are lawyers. May God give you strength and peace at this time

Dear Family,
I consider it a priviledge to have known Mr. Cavanagh however casual it may have been over the years, I enjoyed his company and the sense of humor along with his love of the law. I will remember him always with fond thoughts. Thoughtfully with kindest regards.

Harry's support of young lawyers was always so special and for me, in particular, it was what spurred me to try to be the best -- ethically, professionally, and with concern for all involved. The lessons I learned from him ring in my head virtually every day of my life and it is my sincere hope that I will be able to pass them onto many other persons in Harry's style. He was a tue hero in every sense of the word and a treasured friend and mentor.

To the entire Cavanagh family:
Don and I offer our deepest condolences on the loss of Harry. We were both blessed to know him for many, many years - and I was blessed to spend fifteen years with him constantly urging me grow and learn. He was one of the best men to ever grace this planet: fair, loyal, honest and compassionate. We loved him and will miss his sage advice and wisdom.
God bless you all through these difficult times.
