I worked with Harry in the blood bank at Methodist University Hospital. He was always lovely to work with, and will be missed dearly. As a tech much junior to him, I was lucky to gain some of the wisdom accumulated over a career that spanned longer than my entire life. To his family: I hope you know how many people cherished Harry. He was a well-loved coworker and friend whose absence weighs heavy on the hearts of those of us who worked with him.

My condolences to Harry's family. I have many good memories of working with him in the blood bank. I met him when he started in hematology . He was also a very good friend of my late husband who worked with him. He is going to be sorely missed

To Harry's family-I am truly sorry for your loss. I had the privilege of knowing Harry for 15 years. He was pleasant, hardworking and smart. I enjoyed the conversations that we used to have. Harry would always tease me about joining the wine club because he knew that I didn't drink. We would also talk about his past travels and he would want to know if I had visited the Dexter Kroger in Cordova lately since we both had ties to the area. I miss Harry and having those fun conversations. I pray that God will comfort the family during this difficult time.

Such sad news to hear. I worked with Harry for 36 years at Methodist University and was proud to have him as a friend. He was very smart and dependable and always kept things interesting by sharing his knowledge of so many subjects that interested him. We always shared restaurant suggestions with each other. Back in the good old days when we were young Med Techs working 2nd shift together, several of us would grab a few brews after work. He was a kind, open-hearted person who will be remembered.
