He was my fellow tenor and I thought very fondly of him. Marilyn our deepest sympathies to you and your family. Hope you are doing okay with your bout of cancer. Sent a card but it came back so found this on the computer so dropped a note here. God Bless you and hold you in his hand as you go through your grieving process. Maybe we can do lunch someday when you feel like it. Miss you all. Nan and Al HansonNan

I worked in the lab at the Earl Clinic while he was practicing there. I always enjoyed working with him and thought of him many times over the years. He was also a great ob/gyn dr and delivered both of our daughters. I am sorry to hear of his death and my prayers are with you and your family.

Harry came to the Earl Clinic from Red Wing to head our OB-GYN department. It was interesting to hear the stories about his family having the painting contract at Ebbet's Field in Brooklyn. His 'Broolynese' accent was new to our Scandinavian ears at the time. We are sorry to hear of Harry's passing and our prayers are with you and your family.

Marilyn and family, my deepest sympathy. I remember where we were when we first met in 1972 at Midway Hospital. Harry took me to a Vikings game when O.J. played his first game at the Met. He knew his football better than anyone I knew.
I still see patients who ask about him.
