Tammy and Family,
I was a classmate of Harry's at UVA Law School. While I did not have the pleasure of knowing him well, Harry was one of the few of us who consistently maintained a smile during those 3 years. It sounds like he carried that wonderful spirit into his life with you - an example that we can all learn from. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Tammy, Ben and the Wilson Family,
If you didn't want to smile, you better not run into Harry! That's the way I will always remember him and I hope you will find solace and happiness in his memory. God bless and be with you and you with him.

I just learned of Harry's passing today and it has certainly hurt my heart. I was one of his classmates at UVA Law. At this time in a family's life, it is comforting to know that you have others praying for you, mourning with you, and understanding the loss. Know that I am one of them - praying for you, mourning with you and understanding the depth of loss for your family. But also know that God is here, to comfort, guide and protect. And He will lead you through this season to a time of remembrance and love.

Dear Tammy - I worked with Harry at P&G. He was one of the finest persons and finest lawyers I have ever known. He was unfailingly kind, compassionate, helpful, cheerful - I can't say enough good things about him. My husband, Fred Braun, died 2 years ago, so I know it's hard. Seek help from family and friends - don't hesitate to ask. I'm thinking of you and of Harry.

Harry was the "athlete's athlete and a gentleman's gentleman." We played flag football together in law school with George Allen, Jr. and Jack Berry on a team sponsored by Robert Kennedy, Jr. He was an intelligent, serious but fun-loving guy whom every one I knew loved to see him coming.
