I enjoyed working with Harry. I found him to be pleasant, engaging, interesting, knowledgeable, and a real gentleman. I loved his laugh, and his sense of humor. He was of strong character, and I was glad to call him my friend. I will miss him. My thoughts and prayers go out to Rachel and his family.
