Being new to online distilling forums,I had not heard of Harry.
I have now checked out some of the contents of his library.
What a great man to share so much,so freely.
There is always a point,you just have to find it.
I send my very best wishes to Harry and his family.
Slainte literally translates as 'Health' ,as well as being a drinking toast,
Slainte Harry!

Robert.

I wasn't quite sure who Harry was until I saw the word "slainte". I can't count the number of times I've Googled some obscure aspect of distillation and stumbled across one of Harry's posts on one of the various distilling forums and his library is prominently bookmarked in my browser.

I hope he can feel the positive energies being sent his way by all the appreciative distillers he has helped both directly and indirectly.

Thanks for letting us all know.

Yes, Harry is without a doubt one of the good guys, he has helped so many and I am sure he will continue to do so once this episode is over.

My thoughts are with him and his family and I pray that he makes a quick and full recovery.

there's distilling forum members, there's exceptional distilling forum members and then there's Harry....wonderfully informative, experienced and civil always.....all good, and a Queenslander too!

I hope he returns quickly from this challenge in good health and happiness...and, meanwhile, may the angels keep an eye on his share too.

Harry is not a member here but if you move around in other forums or visit his huge reference library you know him in some ways....

Got this today: and am sharing this without his permission but do so as a friend would share to Harry's friends,

From: Harry To: FullySilenced

Writing this to Tim, but also to others to let everyone know what's going on.

Hi Tim,

So, we've hit a speedbump. More-like the shit has hit the fan.

Tim, I won't be able to implement your solution to my heart issues. Saturday night 15th June last week, I had my second MI heart attack after 11 yrs since the 1st one.

Have spent the past week in intensive care. Had a Angiogram Thursday. They found the same 2 blockages I mentioned before. But they also found a new one, totally blocked. So 3 buggered pipes all up. Stents not an option. Surgery the only answer.

3 weeks time (12 July) I have to travel to Townsville (4 hrs by road) for open-heart surgery, triple bypass. There's no heart surgeon or theatre in my town.

It gets more involved. They've also discovered diabetes. So on top of all the surgery and now lifelong heart medications, I also have to manage my sugar and insulin shots daily.

Assuming I survive all this, the outlook is...radical diet changes, little or no booze to top it off.

I'm kinda wondering if there's any point to carrying on.

I won't be around much on the boards until all this is over & done. Got lots of arrangements to make for the family. Also got lots of online stuff to arrange just in case.

Thanks for the help you offered. Unfortunately it wasn't to be.

Slainte!
regards
Harry

If you know Harry personally, its time to reach out and show him your support... He has given a lot to our hobby for a very long period of time,
