I can't begin to tell you how fortunate I was to have had the opportunity to work with Harry, to get to know him, and to learn so much from him. He taught me about things that can't be learned from a book.
Harry taught me the importance of treating everyone with respect and dignity. The importance of being yourself, whether in the presence of kings or servants, and stopping once in a while to laugh at a good story. Harry taught me to be fearless when you have a goal in mind, especially if the goal is for the benefit of students you care so much about. He taught me the importance of loyalty to old friends, of loving your work - but never putting it above your family, and of being a person of faith, living each day by the Lord's rules. Harry taught me the importance of a warm smile, a firm handshake, a kind word, and of "finding a way" when the "powers that be" say it is not possible.
I will always be inspired by Harry's thirst and hunger for knowledge and his constant desire to learn and grow and continue to improve.
