Very sad news. It was pretty cool to see him and his son Todd(broadcaster for the Rays) in a few interviews during the World Series last year. Definitely a legend in Philly sports. I caught a glimpse of a TV and I saw David Montogomery's quote and knew he could be talking about no one else but Harry.
RIP Harry

I don’t own what I have until he owns an equal share of it. Until somebody beats me and blinds me, I am in his debt."- Orson Welles August 11, 1946
