Re: [IRCA] Harry Helms Passes

[David Faulkner <drdsfaulkner@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Everyone:
 
Sorry to hear about Harry.  I always looked forward to getting reports from him when I was EDXR editor, and recall his DXWW reports as well.  I met him once, at thee 1971 Toledo convention.  He seemed like a really great guy, quiet-spoken and courteous.  I am the same age as he was.  My prayers are with his family.

Sorry to hear about Harry.  Although I never met him in person, I corresponded with off & on for 40 years.  He was quite a guy.  Thanks, John, for passing along the information and email from his cousin.

This sad news found on SWBC DXPlorer list about one of my all-time DX Hobby 
heroes. Valiant fight; heroic to the end.

I have very bad news. I received this e-mail from Cheryl Ervin Hill.

E-MAIL:

Harry Lee Helms, Jr., my first cousin and good friend, passed away on 
Sunday, November 

15th, around 11:00 pm. He was 57.

As you probably know, he has bravely 
fought an aggressive cancer for 
the last several years. For the past few 
months he and his wife Di 
have lived in his home town of Fort Mill, SC, 
surrounded and loved by his extended family, old friends, and his dogs and cats.

I asked Harry recently how I could be useful to him in the final 
days, so he sent me a short list of friends to contact when the end 
came. I probably do not know you personally, but I know that you 
have to be a special sort of person to make the list. Please know 
that this message is an act of love from Harry to you at the end of 
his amazing life.

We ask that you remember him now as you knew him in years past. I 
believe that he would have me remind you to recognize your life's 
passion and let it guide you always.

Our family will gather together 
informally later this week to find 
some closure for ourselves and to wish 
him peace.

Harry was one of a kind. We will miss him 

greatly.

Cheryl Ervin Hill
