I met Harry in 1977 and have so many wonderful memories. He introduced me to his love of horse racing and included me in some of his vacations. I will never forget those times and I will miss my good friend. He was a good man who loved his family and friends.

My friendship with Harry recently revived, after a 20 year break. I'm so sad to hear of his death. His wit,kindness and generosity of spirit will be missed.

He spoke with pride of his children and his grandchildren. I'm very sorry for your loss.

I'll always remember Harry as a good person, and a good friend.
