Wow just saw where Harry Anderson passed. So very sorry to hear this sad news. Harry had a "SPECIAL AURA" about him that left a lasting good feeling in your heart. We were truly blessed to have him be a part of our lives!!! I just loved him on "Night Court!!!!" I still watch the reruns and still laugh. My prayers are with his family and co-workers.

I just found out while looking thru famous people who have passed. How could I have missed it? Like everyone else who has signed the guest book, I loved his Judge Stone, who made me laugh & cry with his wisdom and laughter sentencing the "crooks". And his relationship with his coworkers. What a brilliantly funny, sweet man! The world is lacking without him. Thank you for sharing him with us; he gave us such joy, laughter. I hope all the comments from everyone helped his family get by the loss. God bless you, Harry..

The Night Court was a funny show. Sometimes in life we feel we have to get away from the rat race. God's blessing for us is to be satisfied and happy. "You open your hand And satisfy the desire of every living thing." Psalms 145:16 I pray for all of Harry's family to remember his smile and lovin ways. Memories can keep us calm with a smile at times.

Harry was one of my heroes growing up.
My pop lit out when I was ten and that same year Night Court began. I was a very angry little boy and the episode with Michal J. Fox hit me kinda hard 'cause all I really wanted was a grown man to let me know that I'd be ok.
I know it was just a tv show, but I saw something in the character of the character Harry portrayed and over the years I found myself asking, "What would Judge Stone do?" long before anyone ever heard "W.W.J.D?". He became almost a surrogate father figure and I always got the impression that there was an awful lot of the real Harry in the character of Judge Stone.
I know it might sound silly, but the man you lost taught me how to be a better man.
He was one of my best friends who I never had a chance to meet, if that makes sense.
I just wanted to take the chance that y'all might see this and it might give you a wistful, quiet smile to know that in some small way that he never knew Harry Anderson helped a broken little boy learn how to listen and how to approach life, that can so often be so painful, with a sense of lightness and joy in the magic around us.
God bless y'all. I'll be praying for you for what it's worth.
God bless Harry.

Harry the Hat and Dave Barry were two brillant examples of outstanding acting by Mr. Anderson. No one could do comedic acting like Harry. He was a fantastic talent of which we will never see again. Harry was the "BEST." AJ

The world has lost a comedic genius. His many, many fans are very sad that Harry was called home so quickly. May his family know how beloved he was through these continuing beautiful messages for them. Barbara M.

Harry... Although I never met you personally, I was a huge Fan for years. But, it was also you who helped me make my own mark in the Magical Arts & Entertainment. It a nutshell... I copied you for awhile & by doing this, I developed my own persona. I will always remember the advice you gave us all, "Never eat in a place called Mom's, never play cards with a man called Pop's & that a sucker & his money, were lucky to come together in the first place." Thank you!!

Harry, you didn't just make people laugh as a judge on "Night Court" but you also got me intrested in the legal profession. I even called you my "judicial mentor" on my Facebook page. One of my dreams was to either be a lawyer or even a police officer. I settled as a security officer. Thank you for helping me in my success.

I watch night court all the time. Have a huge crush on Harry Anderson. So sorry to hear of his death on my vacation now in Florida visiting my parents. I am so sad. I am a seventies baby born August 22,1970. Love his look, sense of humor, and his personal being. When I go home , I will watch night court in his memory now being that I bought the entire DVD collection a while back. God bless his whole family and anyone who knows him one way or the other. He is a special man I can tell from the media and his acting.

Because of Harry, "Night Court" will always be my favorite sitcom of all time! My stepbrother and I would watch it every week! Also, thanks to Harry, I also am a punster! I even do the goofy and geeky grin afterwards! I may not have known him personally, but I feel like I did! I am at a loss for words in describing my sadness that this wonderful human being left this world way too soon! Thank you, Harry, for making this world a better place! I will miss you! I hope that you, Selma, Florence, Reinhold, and Mel are having a fun time in "Night Court" Heaven! Rest In Peace!

To the Anderson family: I am deeply saddened by the loss of Mr. Harry. He was so funny on Night Court, and the reason that I watched it every time it came on. I don't live too far from Ashville, and I wish I had had the opportunity to meet such an amazing man. My sincere condolences to Mrs. Anderson and your children, as well as the rest of your family. May God Bless each and everyone of you. Please know that everyone who watched Night Court shares in your sorrow. I pray your faith in the Lord to see you through this most difficult time.

I was blessed to have met Harry on several occasions. Such a kind, talented, witty man! All my best to Elizabeth, Dashiell, Eva Fay, and the rest of Harry's family and friends. We have lost someone precious!

Scott Hampton

April 20, 2018

I had the pleasure of meeting Harry and Elizabeth and assisting them through what seems to be a very hard point in their lives. I would lucky enough to manage their relocation from New Orleans to Asheville after Hurricane Katrina. Although Harry seemed devastated by the decision to leave New Orleans he was a great customer and one of my most found memories. I was able to get to know him not only as a constant a hustler, but also as a very compassionate and caring person. To this day one of my most cherished possessions is a bottle of rum that Harry inscribed with a note on it after I'd moved his home, his bar, and his magic shop in all its memorabilia to Asheville.

I pray that his friends and family find comfort in knowing that they were privileged to have know a very good and kind man.

Rest in peace Harry.

My name is Julian Burke and I am a "Super Collector" here in Knoxville, Tn, I have a large Broadcast Museum here and I am very interested in vintage neckties and fedora hats as well as broadcast relics. Since I live rather close to Harry, I always wanted to meet him and perhaps see his collection. This saddens me greatly as another great talent is now lost to history. What a great soul he was and I will miss him and I wanted to invite him to visit my museum. It is rare to find a friend who collects as I do with similar interests. I know he was a dear friend that I sadly never met. I am very sorry to learn of his passing and sincerely give my love and respects to his wife Elizabeth and his children. Sincerely, Julian Burke

April 20, 2018

Night Court was a huge part of my adolescence. The best show of all time with the very talented Harry Anderson as the anchor. Great person taken to soon. Say Hi to Selma and Florence. Kris K.

Jen Vargas

April 20, 2018

I never had the pleasure of meeting Harry but his work on Night Court had a profound affect on me as a kid. The first fan letter I ever wrote was to him while Night Court was still on the air - and he sent me an autographed photo back!

I was too young to fully understand the wit, but the humor stays with me to this day. When he became a spokesperson for Phar-Mor, I was over the moon! Mother Goose Rock and Rhyme, IT, Harvey, Dave's World... Harry's influence evolved my appreciation in technology, comedy, music, watches, and I all but gave up being right-handed because he was a southpaw. I trained myself to eat left-handed, I still do! (I'm now ambidextrous.) He was one of my first childhood crushes and a helluva imaginary friend of this latchkey, only child.

I had always wanted to take a trip down to New Orleans and visit Oswald's but never summoned the courage. I don't live in a world of regret but I REALLY wish I would've just gone, even if by myself.

My heart goes out to his family; Harry's wife, son, and daughter. Thank you for sharing your husband and dad with all of us over the years. He made a young girl in Orlando, Florida who was/is really passionate about really weird stuff feel normal and accepted.

I would love to be in line near the gates of heaven with Harry Anderson and Carl Kasell doing zany magic tricks, Mel Torme singing in the background and Barbara Bush explaining to her daughter Robin who these cool men are. RIP you three treasured people. We will miss you. You broke the mold. Peace.
