I only met Harry a few years ago but knew he was a special man the moment we met. He was friendly, funny and caring. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

It was an honor to get to know Harry San in the last few months of his life. I'm greatful I had the opportunity to have time with him. I look forward to celebrating his life on 1/5/13 with his special family, his friends, and all those he touched just by being himself.
