I met Harry when he covered the news for KRSB in Roseburg. We became good friends and i not only admired his ability to cover a story and the reports he wrote, i loved his sense of humanity and humor. He was a very caring man and a very special friend. He once told me that he always loved it when i showed up to a public meeting he was covering because he knew he would have a good story. There was a group of us " trouble makers" in Roseburg in those days standing up against whatever injustice we perceived. Harry decided to form a church which he registered legally and named "The Church of No Questions Asked" and the l annual meeting required was held at Little Brother´s Pub across from the Douglas County Courthouse. Everytime anyone would ask what our meetings were about, the response was "no questions asked!" That was Harry´s sense of humor but i knew him to be a warm and caring man who fell in love during those days and married and became father to 2 sons. He cared deeply about his family and his friends. I left Roseburg and lost track of Harry in tge 1990´s. My last conversation with him was by telephone in early June 1990 a few days after the death of my youngest son David. He was so caring and so concerned for my welfare. I will never forget the talented, kind and caring and fun-loving man I knew. I cherish my memories of those years we were friends.

Harry was a marvelous man, talented yet modest. He was an excellent radio journalist and along with Peter Wong at the News Review gave Roseburg an unusually talented small town journalistic team in the 1970s and '80. He had a great nose for news, and in the 80s he twice went with me to study the Rajneeshees over in Central Oregon. His sense of humor led him to great reporting on the famous "Mt. Nebo goats." He loved his family, was absorbed by his adorable sons. My heartfelt love and prayers to all who mourn him now.
