HarryK - Your Going To Be Missed... RIP

Gord · Posted: Sun Jan 18, 2009 4:26 pm Post subject:

Now that the shock of this event has subsided, and the sad reality of this has somewhat sunk in , I just want to add a few words for the benefit of those that are passing by, and maybe didnt know Harry.

Harry was the webmaster of this website (along with Electra, sorry, I dont mean to diminish your role in any way, but I think we all know he ran things on this website.. hehe).

Harry has been in the online industry in a variety of capacities since I can remember, and I have been online since 1995. Certainly many of his innovative ideas have helped shape the way the internet has developed. Many of us have met him and Electra at various webmaster trade shows and they always had a friendly face, and would share a drink or two in discussions. I personally have sat with the two of them for hours on end discussing various things, and there would always be an endless stream of people coming to talk to him.

As a person, and as an online industry pioneer, his opinion was often sought out, and valued from webmasters the world over, as one can see from the posts on various boards from half a world away.

This website, is the ONLY external website link I have ever allowed published on Domain Name Systems, which might give you an idea how much he was thought of as an honest and straight up person. I like to think that many of my clients took that link as a sign of respectableness and integrity and are now signed up as members on this website.

I recall when I first posted on this website, that someone said "wow, Harry has some powerful friends". In fact, Harry had many powerful friends. He knew everybody. When Harry asked me to join his membership here, I took that as very special invitation, and was honored that he allowed us to be a part of this project.

Those of which had a personal and business connection to him will have a void in their lives as a result of this tragic event.

The internet got a little quieter this past week, and the quiet is deafening.
As said many times already, we will miss him greatly.

Electra , in case you dont see it. I sent you a rather important PM.

I know this time is stressful, but if you could just take a moment to address it , I'd be grateful.

So sorry to hear this news. I was talking back and forth with him in e-mail a few weeks ago. He was so helpful and gave me all kinds of good advice.
R.I.P.

Man that is really bad news. He was a nice guy in my dealings with him. Very intelligent. Always a joke and full of good humor. Just goes to show how fragile life is.

Here's to you HarryK cheers to you!
