I had the privilege to work with Harley and later to call him my friend. He had amazing stories from his most distinguished career. He had a great sense of humor and a very kind heart. He paid impeccable attention to details and did everything with great energy. His contributions in the academic world will not be forgotten. I hope he has had a wonderful reunion with his beautiful Estelle. - Posted by: Nadene (friend) on: Jun 14, 2022
