Harry always cared about his listeners. When we turned on the radio in the morning, we knew we were listening to a true friend. Morning radio just hasn't been the same since he retired. Around 2007 I started a Fans of Harry Harrison page on Facebook. There are now 2380 members including his daughter, Patti. She always advised us of how he was doing. Thankfully, he lived to experience his induction into the Radio Hall of Fame last November. I always remember the photo where Patti and her Patrick were ear to ear smiles as they posed with their Dad.
My fondest memory of Harry was in May 2001 when he announced Lee's Bar Mitzvah during the Harry Harrison Birthday Book. We played the recording of it during the reception. The following letter that Harry posted after the tragic death of radio friend Alan Berman in 2013.
My sincere condolences to Patti, Patrick, the entire Harrison family, he fans and colleagues in the radio business. His memory will certainly be a blessing.
