To Helena: Thank you for notifying me of your loss. I will miss Harry terribly. To his wonderful daughters: Knowing and working with your Dad has been one of the highlights of my own life. I still view the super8 movie we took in Rockaway may years ago, with him holding the hand of one of you. How proud he was of your accomplishments! Regards and regrets to your families. We have lost a great man and teacher. Dr. Calman (Cal)

Harry was a great man, a leader and innovator in his chosen field of Dentistry. As Dean of NYUCD, he turmed the school around toward greatness, and was instrumental in procuring its present location. I, and the whole class of 1951, will miss him, since he was our own personal DEAN. He was a down to earth true scholar and teacher, whom I got to know better in my past 15 years teaching at NYUCD. "Goodbye, Harry! See you soon!"

We of the Class of '51 have lost another classmate, one who was loved and revered by us, namely Harry Blechman. If you wish, please sign the Guest Book and forward this on to his family.

As a classmate of Harry, a fellow tacher at NYU College of Dentistry, the Class of '51 necroloogist and a very dear friend of Harry's as well, I and my wife of 57 years, Natalie, deeply regret the passing of Harry Blechman who was loved and respected by countless students as well as his classmates. Rest in Pease, old buddy. Love to Helen as well as to his children.
