Memories and Condolences
for Paul Harshman

I had Mr. Harshman for Senior Comp class at Sylvania High School. I was having problems at home and one day I burst out crying in class. Mr. Harshman dismissed the class. He offered his hankerchief and listened to me. He was so compassionate and understanding. I have often thought of that kind act over the years.
Very sorry for your loss.

Dear Nancy and family,
My deepest sympathies for your loss. I will cherish the memories of our time at St. Francis and later at St. Meinrad (what a pleasant surprise to see him show up that Fall!) I'm sorry I couldn't join you, but be assured of my prayers for you all--I know Paul doesn't need them. Love,

To Paul's family,
Paul was the summer recreation leader at Elmhurst Park for several years in the early 60s. Elmhurst Park was a summer haven for neighborhood kids....myself being one. We would go several times a day for softball team practice, crafts, getting ready for the junior olympics, etc. He must have been a college student, and even then, was a person of kindness and gentleness while giving attention to all. And the attention of a kind and gentle college student when you are in 6th grade is a very important thing!

Dear Nancy and the Harshman family,
I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear of Paul's death...
For me it has triggered a wealth of emotions, a reflection on life's priorities, a reinforcement of God's will and our purpose in life, and a sense of nostalgia...
Paul and I go back to the first days of our births...almost 67 years ago...He was born on May 1st, 1942...I was born on May 5...at St. Vincent's Hospital...Pat Nally was born on May 7th...It could be that my mother, Gerry Brown Bettinger, friends with Helen Harshman and Kate NaIly were all in the same hospital at the same time...I received word of Paul's death from Pat, a high school boyfriend from St. Francis who was also a classmate of Paul's... and played football with him and my younger brother, Terry...
The Harshmans and our cousins, the Christs, were very close friends--and we all lived in the Old West End in Rosary Cathedral Parish..I especially remember my 1st communion...in fact I still have a photo of Paul and I together who were partners in the procession...he was a "1st crush!"...in those early childhood years we would all rent cottages in the summer together at Gem Beach in Port Clinton, Ohio..and spend one or two weeks together...penny arcade, swimming, dad's fishing, BBQ dinners, kids sleeping in the big lofts together...what wonderful childhood memories...!
In my 4th grade year we moved to St. Catherine's parish and that is when I met you, Nancy...You were one year younger, between my brother and I...When I heard that you and Paul were married/being married at the same time as Jeff & I-1967- I felt--"good choice"-for both of you!
It's been many years since I've seen you both--but I feel that in light of the above connections, I've lost a member of the "family"...
In reading the entries in your guest book, these feelings of "family" were so reinforced--in seeing messages from people all over the country and foreign countries...especially childhood friends like Mike McCarthy, Pat Mahoney, and Vince King...
My sincerest condolences--I do know to some extent what you are going thru...we lost our youngest son, Dan, almost 9 months ago..July 28, 2008...in a fall from a roof on a job as a painting contractor at age 31, leaving a wife and infant daughter of 16 months...
I am a person of great personal Faith, and am so grateful for the beliefs of my Catholic religion...it will carry you all...and in time the beautiful memories of all the time you had with this wonderful man in all your lives will give further reassurance that you WILL be re-united with him and God forever, eternally...With Love and deepest sympathies,
Sheila Brown Towns

Mrs. Harshman and family,
Marilyn and I are deeply saddened to hear of your loss. Paul has had a lasting impression on me and his loyalty to his family has been an influence on our family. I was attending St. Francis when Andy was born and I was priviledge to coach Casey and Charlie at St. Francis. I treasure these years with them and the St. Francis family. The strength of this family will bring you comfort in the coming days.
With deepest sympathy,
Coach Wags,
Paul Hancock
April 20, 2009
I just learned of Paul's passing and, on behalf of the Hancock family, I extend our sympathies to the entire Harshman family. Our families go back a long way, as Paul's parents and my parents were acquaintances, if not friends, in their youth. Both of our families were closely involved with the growth and development of St. Francis, from the Golden Knights Ball, to Fun-a-rama, to parents organizations and athletics. Paul and my sister Sue were in the same class, but gender required that they attend separate schools. My brother John and Dan were classmates. And Tim and I were only a year apart. With no offense to the girls, my parents always talked about "what nice boys those Harshmans are." Many of my family members have also passed on, but I know they took with them found memories of the Harshmans and would want me to express my condolences to you. We have great memories of high school. I still have the Toledo Blade with the headline "Knights Come of Age -- And How" that commemorates the first victory over Central Catholic. While those years provide fond memories, I also appreciate that our families have shared grief as we have lost our loved ones. Even though I have not seen most of my Harshman friends for many years and, in fact, have never met many of you, the bond with the Harshmans from youth remains. We can feel the pains that we each experience as life moves on. Dan found my brother when he died in his yard, and went out of his way to help arrange a beautiful memorial service. We are forever grateful. I regret that I was not in Toledo to pay my respects personally to all of you in your similar time of grief, but I want you to know how truly sorry I am (as is my family)about you lose. Nothing can ease your pain, but I hope you find comfort in the fact that others appreciate it and share it with you, in large part because of our own familial experience. It was great to see so many familar names in this guest book.

The Harshman Family -
Our sympathies go out to the Harshman family. We are sorry that this is late, we were out of town and just got word. I only met Mr. Harshman once for a brief moment when traveling to Toledo on business with Casey, but I do remember his kindness and how he made me feel at ease. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.

My sympathies to the Harshman family, I had the pleasure of getting to know Mr. Harshman through my good friendship with Andy and the sports we played together. Mr. Harshman was a wonderful, caring person who went out of his way to make you feel comfortable around him and his family. He was a great role model for anyone he came in contact with.
My thoughts and prayers are with the Harshman family as they deal with this loss.
April 19, 2009
Nancy & family... Yes indeed life is full of surprizes. How would I have known that when I saw you and Paul at the funeral home for Butch Komives wake two weeks ago that it would be the last time I would see Paul alive. Our deepest sympathy to you and may your deep faith in the resurrection be your strength in this time of grief and loss. Thanks be to God for the goodness of his life. Be prepared for we know not the day or the hour. I will offer three masses for the repose of his soul and enter him into our Book of Life. All good things to you. The Padre Dan Zak
Rick Zimmerman

My sympathies to the Harshman families. I had Paul as my football offensive line coach at St. Francis, and he was my history teacher as well, and a good one. I had great respect for Paul, and knew him then as a man of great passion and dedication, and man who taught excellence and not settling for less, Richard Mattingly's right hand man. Paul worked very hard to try to teach me to keep on my feet after beginning every block. He was a very good and inspiring coach, and I appreciated and respected his passion and philosophy of total dedication. Later, as the years passed, I ran into Paul from time to time and discovered that Paul was truly more than the dedicated and passionate coach I had first come to know, and I learned what the other side of Paul was, one that I had not known when I was in high school. We had a number of great chats over the years, and I was struck by his genuine, gentle, and caring side. Paul, I think of you often. You were a great role model, and God bless you and your family....I know we will all see you again in heaven and I will look forward to it. Great man.

Dear Nancy & family:
I just heard about Paul's passing from Dad, this morning. What a terrible shock! Sorry, but 66 years is way too short a time; Paul was cheated--as were all those who were close to him.
Paul was such a gentle soul; he was just a nice and always approachable guy, with never a nasty or threartening word to or about anyone. (Sometimes, a "firm" word to someone out of line, but never a nasty or threatening one.)
I will always remember his relaxed, easy smile, and will keep him, and all of you, in my prayers.

Dearest Harshman family,
I spent Easter Sunday thinking of all of you and of the great Easter day I spent with your family 3 years ago. I have precious memories of that day and how you all made me feel as part of the family. That day I was able to see the great love that Paul had for each and every one of you. It is rare to see such love. I pray that this love all around you and all the beautiful memories will help to ease the pain you feel right now.
Casey,
It breaks my heart to know how much pain you must be feeling right now. Remember all the wonderful things he said to you and taught you and it will help ease the pain.
I love you.

Tim, Nancy and Family, I have such fond memories of Paul as my Brother, Mike McCarthy's "best Bud" during their growing up years. Each morning Paul and Tim would come by the house and meet up with Mike and the three-some would walk down to Bancroft to hitch-hike to St. Francis. I always thought Paul was a great guy............even though he helped my Brother Mike tease the "little sister"........alot. I had run into Paul a number of times through the years and it was always a joy to see him again. My love and condolences go out to all of his love ones.

Dear Nancy, Tim and all of the Harshman Family,
On behalf of the Mahoney family, please accept our condolences on the loss of Paul. Reading the kind words of others regarding Paul comes as no surprise. As a classmate of Paul's at Rosary Cathedral and St.Francis, my first memories of Paul were his leadership abilities, concern for others and how he commanded and earned loyalty and affection from those with whom he associated.....looking back, no small feat for someone that young. I ran into Paul last year (after many years) and
nothing had changed. The memories of Paul, Nancy(Rainbow), Tim (the Black Ford) and the St. Francis days are priceless. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time

To Wife Nancy, Brother Tim, and all the Harshmans I grew up with when they lived on Scottwood, I am so sorry for your loss. Paul was my best friend at St. Francis - we hitch-hiked from the Old West End every morning. He was the Rock of Gibralter even then. I was looking forward to seeing him at our 50th Reunion. At least I had the good fortune to write to Paul earlier this year.
Sorry I will miss seeing all of you on Friday but you, Paul, and your awesome family are all in our thoughts and prayers from Atlanta.

Did we really think that the most important thing was winning a football game? Oh, so very young. Although we haven't talked or seen each other for years, there was a friendship. So very thankful for that friendship. Teammates for life.

Saddened to read of "Beau's" sudden passing. I remember watching him play at St.Francis and U of Toledo.And Playing 'alley basktball' at Buehrer's against him. He was a class guy. Deep religious convictions.Solid character. Family man. Every thing that is decent about life could be found in Paul. The quality of my life has been enhanced having met Paul so many years ago.
Deepest Sympathy to the family.
