A terrible loss for the hobby and this forum. He was always a voice of reason in the midst of what sometimes borders on chaos... He'll be missed.

Most of his posts flew right over my head but he seemed like a nice guy, I'm sorry to hear of his passing.

He was a very intelligent and interesting man - one who could have made many more contributions to this game if some of the known Masters of Harassment here would have quit hounding and belittling him so much. I will miss his comments, and like most, had little idea of what he was saying.

My condolences to his family and friends. I wish I had been in his circle of friends.

I learned in Nov by Private Message that he was only 64 years old. He had some pretty impressive credentials that deserved respect. He like I respected El Cid and disliked Board bullying but he always maintain a gentlemanly presents on the Board.

I will miss his contributions.

I am sorry that I thought you were sometimes a bit pompous in your posts, where in reality you were just a lot smarter than me.

R.I.P. Harry. I appreciated your intellect even as I wished that there was an app providing translation for those of us who didn't get past Calculus.

Herwin? Nooooooo.

He was sometimes confusing, but more often he prepared the way for complex discussions
I enjoyed very much. If you tried to follow him you always learned something.

Very sad news indeed. The average IQ on this forum just dropped a sizable notch (I'm sure he'd have a perfect formula to describe that).

RIP,

Too bad. Very interesting career he had. He sounds like one of those guys who could teach you about science or mathematics just from a walk in the woods.
