Elektra's post from yesterday at np:

I want to thank everyone who have posted their condolences and said such nice things about Harry. It has been a comfort to me to know how well thought of and admired Harry was. I have passed on all your kind thoughts to his family. In due course I will collect the posts from all the boards and put them together in some form of e-book as a rememberence I can keep always.
There is to be a double memorial service at the funeral home where his mother is awaiting her burial this coming Wednesday. After that Harry is to be cremated in a private ceremony and his ashes will be scattered in a place yet to be determined. As you can imagine his family are devasted by this double blow and are doing their best to cope with all the arrangements.
I have to believe that Harry is now in a better place where all of the pain he suffered these past few years due to his heart ailment no longer exists and he is finally free of all the stress in his life. Some time ago we both made a pact that if anything happened to either of us we would take each others cats. We never dreamed this would happen so soon. Yesterday I brought home his beloved cat Tara and she is now currently making herself at home and chasing my cat Casey all over my apartment. It is amusing to watch since my cat is a huge male and Tara is a little slip of a female.
On the practical side, Harry WAS Dirty Gloves, Inc. He was the innovator, the ideas man and the brains. I am more of a detail person and someone who can carry out the ideas in a practical way. With that in mind I appreciate the posts of people who have offered help if I need it. I may have to call on those people for some assistance as I learn the technical side of things that Harry always took care of. Hopefully I will be able to get access to Harry's computers and sort out some things. I also have his cell phone so those of you who called Harry on that and who might need anything from me can still contact until the end of the month.
There's really nothing left to add except rest in peace Harry, I hope somehow you know how much you were loved and admired by so many good people in the Industry you chose to work in the all too short time you were here.
