Harry helped us plan and decorate our beautiful home. We always had such fun shopping and planning all of the details of our home. He will be truly missed. I always loved his sense of humor and his attention to details in not only his work but also the details he remembered about all of his friends. He was such a good and kind hearted man. I will miss you my friend. I'm so glad that we got to talk to one another for that last long conversation....

You are gone Harry but not forgotten! I have many great memories of us working together. You made me laugh everyday! You were a hard working talented designer. Your best was your red & purple model in NY! You even dressed in the same colors..... All of our Paul Planert & Burt Hill clients loved working with. May you rest in peace....every time I see purple clouds I'll know you are up there working.....

I hadn’t seen Harry in many years but I will always remember him with joy. We worked at the same architectural firm for a few years and I always thought that Harry was one of the most talented designers I’ve ever known. He was a wonderful friend, too. Whether it was plotting what rhinestones I should wear to a party or strolling through the Three Rivers Arts Festival ogling at men together, Harry was always sweet, funny, and larger than life. Blessings on your way, old friend.

We loved Harry and always enjoyed his company. He was a passionate lover of life, had a fabulous sense of humor, and was a devoted friend to many. We send our condolences to Jerry and Harry's family members and to the many friends whose lives were touched by this good human being.

With our love and sympathy,

My beloved friend Harry is gone, but will never be forgotten. He will welcome me to the other side when the time comes where he is free of illness and pain. We shared a lifetime of memories, good, bad, crazy & hilarious! Life here will not be the same. Until we meet again... I will keep you in my heart all the days of my life.

And to Jerry, what an Angel God blessed Harry with in you. Your love, devotion, and tender care are boundless. After the grief, may you find comfort, solace and happiness again within your memories and enormous heart. You deserve more than the Best as you were such a valiant, committed warrior and protector of our beloved Harry. God Bless You Both, Michael
