My deepest condolences to Annie and family on the passing of Harley. Harely was, in many ways, one of the best educators I had the pleasure to meet. With that, he was also a valued friend. His passing is sad, yet, his life was so full of adventure, joy, friendship and love that it warms your heart knowing he enjoyed it so much. He will indeed be missed but his memory and influence will no doubt carry on.
