Last Wednesday night I connected about 8 friends in a conference call 
> with Harry,  we talked and laughed for about an hour.
> He was in great spirits and it was so nice to hear from him.   I 
> remember telling him that he's going to outlive us all.
> I would have never believed that this was the last time that I would 
> speak with Harry.  A few hours later he left us.
> Harry will always be remembered by everyone as the voice you would 
> always hear when you had your dial on 147.225
> He was loved by all and encouraged  many new people into the radio hobby.
> He was a dear friend friend of mine and I will miss him.   Chris VE3NGW
