I have learned the sad news that Harry Richard Erwin (Herwin), passed away on New Years Eve.

My condolences to the family and friends of Harry, a truly gentleman that touched my life over the last five years, while sharing our hobbie and good advices thousands of kilometers away.

Rest in peace, amigo.

Sad news indeed.

Always enthusiastic and committed to improving or understanding the dynamics of the game ... It was always interesting reading (deciphering) the subtext of his posts and (for me anyway) understanding what the hell he was talking about some of the time.

I got the sense he was passionate about many things and was very active in life.

Taken before his time.

Oh dear, this is sad news indeed. I normally don't post in such threads, but Harry was an opponent of mine once, and he was always corteous and gave a good game. I feel that he was somewhat misunderstood on these forums, but I enjoyed his postings nevertheless.



SuluSea -> RE: Sad News (1/2/2012 3:05:07 PM)

Very sad to hear, I'll miss his zeal for this game. R.I.P. Harry.

Rest in Peace Harry.

Always enjoyed his debates and point of view. He will be missed.



Miller -> RE: Sad News (1/2/2012 3:45:44 PM)

If I remember correctly he was a teacher at Sunderland college in England, only 20 miles away from where I live. Sad news indeed.



wernerpruckner -> RE: Sad News (1/2/2012 3:48:48 PM)

RIP
He will be missed!



Sardaukar -> RE: Sad News (1/2/2012 4:00:37 PM)

Sad news indeed, though lot of time I didn't have a clue what he was trying to say...



Canoerebel -> RE: Sad News (1/2/2012 4:05:54 PM)

I always read Herwin's posts with a slack jaw. The depth of his knowledge was beyond me, but it was always fun to begin a reply something like this: "I need a translator to really understand your point, but..." And that was just fun - knowing that there are very smart people out there who love the game, and who work with it in ways that are truly surprising and delightul.

Sorry to hear this news of Herwin's untimely passing. One of our steady and regular community. Blessings to his family.



Big B -> RE: Sad News (1/2/2012 4:11:25 PM)

That is very sad news indeed, he will be sorely missed. [:(]



John 3rd -> RE: Sad News (1/2/2012 4:14:56 PM)

Good thoughts to his family...



Dan Nichols -> RE: Sad News (1/2/2012 4:35:12 PM)

Sad to hear.  RIP herwin. 



Cribtop -> RE: Sad News (1/2/2012 4:45:29 PM)

Very sad. Unfortunately, for many reasons, this sort of tragedy can occur during the holidays, which is very hard on families for years to come.

RIP. I enjoyed Herwin's posts because I'm a fellow system analyst type geek.



sprior -> RE: Sad News (1/2/2012 4:59:55 PM)

Rest in Peace Harry.



USSAmerica -> RE: Sad News (1/2/2012 5:48:54 PM)

Condolences to his family and friends.  RIP Harry.  [:(]



Justus2 -> RE: Sad News (1/2/2012 5:51:26 PM)

My condolences. I am still new to the game, but when I saw this thread, I recognized his name immediately, as his posts came up in almost any search on land combat.



m10bob -> RE: Sad News (1/2/2012 6:13:51 PM)

RIP Professor..........



Sly -> RE: Sad News (1/2/2012 6:57:38 PM)

Unblelievable... Good Bye Harry 



Jaroen -> RE: Sad News (1/2/2012 7:17:29 PM)

Strange to realize his lectorates will be missing. I enjoyed his learned remarks and thoughtful insights.

It may be interesting for some to have a view on his broad interest and varied career:

All the best to the family!

Ambassador -> RE: Sad News (1/2/2012 8:11:15 PM)

I rarely understood his contributions, but the small amount I did grasp is a large mass of knowledge.  We'll miss him.  Good bye Harry.[:(]
