I was sad when heard of Harry's passing this morning on KMUW. I am very sorry for your loss, Karen. I always admired the love the two of you demonstrated for each other and the fun you seemed to have together. My condolences to you and your family.

I will miss having lunch with Harry on Tuesdays with the Lunch Bunch. We worked on a few graphic projects together in years past. He was a good guy and will miss him.

Farewell old fellow Bushman, you were good. We had many adventures, good and maybe not so good, but I treasure the memories. I'll miss you.

I'm so sorry to hear of Harry's passing. I met Harry in 2009 when I started working in the Education department. He was always so kind and helpful. I'll never forget his laugh. After the company changed its logo, we jokingly got him a birthday cake with a jumping dolphin, as that's what he thought the logo resembled. I send my condolences and prayers to his friends and family.

I met Harry about 40 years ago. I had some involvement in his April fools joke incident. Later on Harry helped me with multiple audio visual presentations at St. Francis Hospital. I have the book that he was the art director for the history of rock n roll in Wichita. I wanted to have him sign this book. Lesson learned- do not forget to make contact with people who are important to you while you can. I will miss this man. Mark Blackmore

I came of age playing with Harry in the Bushmen, and was lucky enough to see him again last year.
