[Dragline]

I lost my 95 year old Mom yesterday too ... peace to all.

So sorry to hear. What a long life to be blessed with.

Sad news indeed...........

I think it would be appropriate to close down the forum for a day, as a moment of silence for our Friend, Harry.......

[Dave Ambrose]

This is a very sad day. Harry was a good guy. I will miss him greatly. My prayers and best wishes go out to his family.

[Rob Hall]

Truly Sad News. Like others, I knew him only from the board. He was straight forward and never flagged in his enthusiasm for the Hobby.

R.I.P. Harry.

VERY sad news today, however Harry's battle is over and may he now rest in peace. Condolences and prayers go out to his family.

Really sad to hear about this. Prayers for his family and all those close to him.

Sad day indeed, rest in peqce Harry. You will be missed by all the modelling community, we will miss your comments and skills in building museum quality replicas of subjects a lot of us would br intimidated to tackle. Personally I have enjoyed each build Harry has posted and will miss that aspect.

God speed Harry,

Condloences to all his family and friends,

Misha

I didn't know Harry personally but did a small decal project for him a while back.  So to have been part of his life in a small way makes it special.  It's always sad when someone you know close up or from far away is suddenly taken.  We can all take comfort, however, in knowing that God answers prayer sometimes in ways that we do not understand.  His ways are not our ways and we only see those things "through a glass darkly".  In all things pray without ceasing regardless of  the outcome.

I really enjoyed reading all of Harry's posts they were very informative and his direct matter of fact way was refreshing. May he find peace

RIP.

Colon cancer is dreadful. Harry was on same chemo as my wife was. Side effects were killing him faster than the cancer last I checked on the curmudgeon. 

Colon cancer kills 70% of victims in first year. 5 year survival is 8%.

Please get checked.

Please rest in peace Harry, you will be missed by all.

I feared I would read this one day. I am shocked and sad. Seemed to happened very quick. Like most of you I never met him but enjoyed his comments on my lack of mirrors on a lot of my models. I wish I would have known him better. He will be missed and the forum will not be the same. RIP Harry.

[Mr. Muppet]

Very sad.

 

Rest in peace, Harry.

[Snake45]

Rest in peace, defender of rearview mirrors and alternator brackets.

I don't think I will ever again put a mirror on a model car--or, for that matter, NOT put one on--and NOT think of Harry.

Harry, you left a mark. Which means you did good. See you on the other side, Brother.

[Bill J]

Rest in peace Harry. Condolences to his family and friends. Another fine modeler lost. Sad to read of Harry's passing.

I share everyone's sentiments already expressed.  The other day I was browsing some of Harry's earlier threads on his builds when I stumbled across his WW1 Albatross plane. The man could build ANYTHING it seems.  If you've never seen it, you should check that out.  Maybe the best way to remember & honor Harry would b a "pinned" place on the forum dedicated just to Harry and his various builds that he posted in their entirety.   A simple but lasting tribute to him perhaps?   My sympathies to his family.

Although I didn't know Harry very well, I did enjoy his work and his critiques. He truly was passionate about this hobby and it showed in everything he did.

Rest in peace Harry.

[bobthehobbyguy]

Very sad news for all of us and his family. But take comfort that is is no longer suffering. My condolences to his family.

I have no words. Harry was my online pen pal for over 15 years, going back to his days at Scale Auto.

RIP Harry....
