The

prostate cancer community has lost one of its greatest advocates. Read about Harry

at the link above. He was an inspiration to us all.

Steve gave me permission to cross post his

message below. Those of us who knew Harry knew that he was very sick but that

never stopped him for being passionate about making a difference for men with

prostate cancer. He can never be replaced. Other men would have given up but

not Harry.

I wonder sometimes if his attitude was

part of what extended his life so long beyond his original prognosis. He was a

hero for many men and women in the prostate cancer community.

Very nice

tribute from PCRI.

I had the pleasure of being being involved with Harry on the first major

PCAN issue - the Least Costly Alternative being foisted upon us by

various Medicare providers who handled coverage for the Federal

Government. I worked with Harry, Ralph Valle, and Fred Mills and produced

the PCAN website. A few years later I met Harry in person when I

moderated a Prostate Cancer Symposium in Carson

City, where Harry was one of the speakers.

Harry, Mack Roach, and I spent a couple of nights together at the home of Nikki

Meloskie who had put the Symposium together. Harry truly was

a gem and his death is a major loss to the Prostate Cancer community.
