I have been a Phillies fan since I was a small kid. I have been to many games and have had the chance to meet many ex/current players. I never had the privilege and honor to meet Harry. I wish I could have. I have heard countless stories about him and all of them are positive ones. A true Philly legend.
As KornmanUNstoppable wrote, Harry loved the "phans" as much as we loved him.
He never turned down an autograph request and answered all of his fan mail personally - sometimes even on a hand-written card!
I have several hand-written cards from Harry in response to correspondence to him regarding my early-2000's fan campaign to name what is now known as Citizens Bank Park in honor of Richie Ashburn (hence my screen name).

RIP HARRY! We love and miss you!
