Message to the Family: We are honored to provide this Book of Memories to the family.

Message to the Family: I served as a fellow department head with H. H. at the Univ. of MN. He was a wonderful, kind and supportive colleague and was always a valued source of wisdom on administrative and academic topics. He was also a great friend. We treasured the opportunity of knowing H.H. and Jo and offer our sincere condolences upon the passing of H.H. Blessings to Jo and family.

Message to the Family: The evening of Tony and Christine's wedding, I was setting up a casual buffet and dining tables for the small, lingering group of those reluctant to end the wonderful day. As I placed the silver, I found HH right next to me, with a stack of plates, placing each exactly right. He "assisted" me both prior to and following dinner clearing the table, low key, dismissing thanks. So typical. He also was a Sudoku whiz and encouraged me to try it. I still haven't mastered it the way HH blew it away. Another memory: a vacation with Jo and HH at Pago Springs and the loving attentiveness Jo and HH had for each other. When one wanted to take a walk, the other accompanied automatically. Such a team!!

Message to the Family: To HH - A most brilliant, yet most humble man who lit up a room wherever he went with his dear smile and huge heart. He instinctively knew to direct love and kindness, a sweet gentleness, yet with a powerful mind strived to improve our planet's most important and valuable resource, the good earth. Peace and Love, dear HH.

Message to the Family: HH and I were colleagues at Washington State University for 13 years in the 1970s and early 1980s, with his office only 2 doors from mine in the same hallway. He could always be counted on to co-sponser and provide excellent suggestions for worthwhile projects and to provide a gentle brake on less worth-while ones. The countertop in his office always contained 3 or 4 stacks of paper, each 2 feet tall, and he had an uncanny ability to move right to the proper depth in the proper pile to retrieve a document for a colleague or student or to prove a point. He served excellent terms as President of both the Soil Science Society of America and the American Society of Agronomy. His students have reflected masterfully on the training received from him. His was a life well-lived.

Message to the Family: For a man I never met, I light a candle to someone with courage, love of God and country, love of dear wife, Jo, and two terrific sons and four beautiful grandchildren and a lovely smile that speaks of a humble intelligent soul whom I only wish I knew. Prayers to all his wonderful family Aunt Dee

Message to the Family: I remember once in the old Poughkeepsie house you told me you could guess my weight if I hung on your forearm. You guessed right. We tried different objects just to see if this was some sort of parlor trick - maybe you had asked my parents my weight. You guessed each object correctly within a couple of pounds. I forget how we rigged this experiment: maybe we tied a string to your forearm and objects onto the string. This seems overly elaborate and makes me question my memory. What I do remember, what anchors this memory as true, is that each time you guessed right, you smiled. It's the same smile I saw when you and the family came to have lunch with us in Cupertino, in 2019. I still want to know what lies behind that smile.
