Harry Magdoff dies

I have taken names from Harry’s computer for this message.
Dear Family and Friends,
This is a note to let you know that Harry died peacefully early this morning surrounded, literally on his bed, by myself, my wife Amy, and his long time care giver Joan. His good friends Percy and Gladys Brazil were with him most of these last few days. Harry was able to enjoy their presence and even spent time talking to them on Friday night.
He had been having heart problems for the last few weeks, but up until around Thanksgiving time had been in reasonabl good shape (for a 92 year old with heart, lung, and other problems).
It was an honor to have had Harry living with us these past 3 and 1/2 years, since my mother Beadie died. It was also wonderful to be able to talk with him regularly and to work with him on a few MR articles.
Amy and I are at home in Burlington, but will most likely be going for a short trip to Florida on Wednesday.
Love,
FRED

So sorry to hear the news about Harry. I am happy I was able to speak with him several weeks ago. We will miss his presence even though we haven’t spent that much time with him recently he was very special to us and our family.
