Certainly a not great beginning to the new year with the announced loss of two "rocks" to this forum.

RIP Harry

[morganbj]

Thought you might like to see him one last time.

[Canoerebel]

That's the first time I've seen him. He looks like a college professor I could learn something from (assuming I brought a dictionary to class and paid careful attention, doing my part while he was doing his).

[captskillet]

Very intelligent man, his passing will be missed by all in this community. My condolences to his family...........may God grant his peace to them. [&o]

[Nemo121]

Harry was a gentleman. He and I talked somewhat by PM and I found him a gentleman in the true sense of the word.

My thoughts are with his family...

P.s. Do we know what happened? I'm assuming it was something sudden as he'd never mentioned any enduring illness etc.

[ilovestrategy]

Man, he was planning on going to the States too. His posts were leagues beyond my understanding.

[:(]Very Sad...A very depressing surprise.
At least God now has a great AE opponent to pass the time with.

There are hints of illness in his last posts on his AAR from a couple of weeks ago.

I too used to enjoy his ad hoc essays. Often not directly applicable to the game but always informative and interesting.

He was a unique character that will be missed on this forum.

Farewell Harry.

I'm finding it difficult to respond to the two threads announcing the deaths of forum regulars.

The spectre of death looms too close upon me as last year I lost my 51 year old younger brother to cancer. Four months later I'm still struggling to cope with the loss.

Harry's insightful posts will be greatly missed by all.

Condolences to friends and family.

Sigh...

Never met him in person, and never addressed him directly in the forums, and yet... there is a sense of loss... RIP herwin. We all have to go, but you will be sorely missed.

Had some good laughs with his posts that were far beyond us

Agreed, I spoke to him once or twice, but I truly believe the WITP community took a loss

bjmorgan,

Thank you for the photo. I will remember him with respect.

A great loss. May he rest in peace.

[CaptDave]

He could be rather pedantic at times (okay, most of the time), but if you could figure out what he was saying he was a wealth of information.  A definite loss!
