Even though time is passing, remembering Harry comes easily into one's mind. I recall how astute he was in conversation and I came away learning something new. He brought a sensibility to a topic in any discussion. Our hearts and prayers go out to John - we miss you as well.

Harry was a warm, kind, thoughtful and intelligent gentleman. I met Harry & John at a Scottsdale Opera discussion group where we became friends. He is missed and our thoughts and prayers will always be in our hearts and share with John the wonderful memories of his life.

Harry Kay played a key role in most of my marriages. The picture shows him as Best Man in 1960 - and that's how I will remember him: 'Best Man'
