It's with a heavy heart I post this. Harry, Black Dog has past away. I talked to his wife today. She is going to send me his obituary. When I get it, I will post it. Damn it all to hell. He was someone I really wanted to meet. We talked on the phone and you could tell he was somebody who cared. I'm going to miss him!
Harry and I rarely saw eye to eye but there were few people on this forum with more charisma. I, personally, appreciate his stance on animal welfare - and I am going to make a donation in his name (or at least his ET name) to our local animal shelter. RIP Harry. I wish the best for your family and pet(s).
This truly is sad, and shocking. Like Eric, outside the electrical field we rarely agreed, but he was a character and I also admired his love and defense of animals.
He will definitely be missed.
Always the first to welcome a newcomer, and generally a very helpful and friendly guy from what I could see. A loss to this forum, as well as those in his real life obviously.
Harry could rile me up until I wanted to put my face through the drywall, but for as much as we argued, I always had the impression he was a legitimately nice guy. Not many folks can pull that off. He will be missed.
I hoped I was going to get to the end of this thread to find out it was a hoax of some kind.
Of true, we have all lost a part of our ET life.
He was consistent. I'll miss the Drudge Repot.
He could always seem to come up with a kind word at the most incredible time.
Harry and I got into the trade around the same year 1974.Doing so on opposite coasts. ( I'll miss his inperson reports from the different sports venues)
:sad::sad:
Only having seen his tireless contributions here in these past few months, I think he embodied some of the Old Yankee spirit. The hard, rocky New England soil once yielded many such men who met life's challenges with dogged determination, wary of man's fallen nature, yet ever mindful of an eternal reward.*Godspeed.
Harry was a great guy, was always the first to welcome new members! I am a die-hard Yankees fan, when Harry's Mom passed, I told him I would change my avatar from Hilti to the Boston Red Sox logo for a month in honor of his mom, Harry at first didn't believe me , but loved it when I did it, and reminded me daily lol. This ones for you Harry!!
I will truly miss him, I really will. He brought so much life to his forum. I enjoyed reading every post having tremendous respect for his views on animal rights.
I also think we should vote Harry 'Electrician of the Month' to honor Harry, and donate any proceeds to an animal shelter in his name. Similar to what was done for B4T.
I haven't posted much, but have read almost everything for a couple of years. It was obvious to this outsider that Harry deeply loved his, and all, dogs, and he greatly valued this forum and put forth real effort to make it a better place. A good way to honor him is to follow his good example.
