I called him an Angel of Mercy, which he was.

He was also a dedicated and tireless advocate for all of us, including
the ladies (you should see the transcript of his speech about the ladies).

For a bit of this man's amazing and inspiring biography, see

We will never see his like again.

Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night
      by: Dylan Thomas

      Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
      Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
      Because their words had forked no lightning they
      Do not go gentle into that good night.

      Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
      Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
      Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

      Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
      And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
      Do not go gentle into that good night.

      Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
      Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
      Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

      And you, my father, there on the sad height,
      Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray
      Do not go gentle into that good night.
      Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

We often make the mistake of not responding to these types of emails and
then provide the poster with the idea that we are not all the interested,
though really we just don't know what to say.

I don't know what to say, Steve.  He obviously garnered your tremendous
respect; dare I say friendship?  I have read some of what is on the other
end of the hypertext you provided.  He certainly seems to have warranted it.

I am sorry you, and apparently many others, lost your friend, Steve.

Thanks for the response to a post that I just had to make.

I never met Harry, but I knew a bit about him. Not enough. But I do feel
that I have lost a friend.

I will mourn for him, just as I mourned the loss of Hugh Kearnley,
another friend whom I never met.

Then, knowing that too many PCa friends will go before me, I will try to
move forward and be helpful -- the last thing I can do for my brothers
and sisters.

Regards,

Steve J
