I just heard about Harry passing and I can't stop crying. He was such a caring, loving and generous man. I've never met any man as wonderful as Harry. We had a great time together and beautiful memories. You will always have a special place in my heart, I love you Harry. RIP

I was saddened to hear of Harry's passing, his old friend Joe passed away two years ago and my heart goes out to his children. Joe's passing devastated his son Jake. It must be double hard after losing their mother as well. I have so many fond memories of Harry at Lucifer's and the Old Bailey and all the good times we all had.

I'm very saddened of Harold's passing. The hunting trips and all the wonderful times at his home enjoying Atlantic Lobster.
When my Father Passed Harold was the first person to help me grieve our sudden loss.

I was deeply saddened when I opened the paper this morning and heard about Harold's passing. I have so many memories of my dear friend from his law school days and all the fun we had. We have been out of touch for years but think of Harold often. My deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family and hope you can find peace and comfort in the memories you hold dear.
