What happened to Harry, the orange-jacketed usher?

[Zippy1808]

Noticed his absence during the Villanova game, and he was missing for UNC as well.
Looked it up, CNY Central has already done the reporting.
Sorry to hear he's ill.
Hope he's able to make a healthy return for the Duke game.

Had been wondering this all year. Best wishes to Harry.

Sat next to us at eggplant a few weeks ago. Said he broke hip & was planning on retiring.

OE posted an article about Harry a few days ago. He had pneumonia, is recovering, and plans to be back. I noticed him missing too. He has been working games since 1947, if I remember correctly.

Harry is such a great guy. First met him in the mid 80's when I became friends with one of his nephews who I worked with. That nephew and I, along with a couple other guys, drove to the 87 F4 in a pick up truck. Harry thought we were nuts. Wasn't fun though having a tire blow out in some backwater town in Alabama. But anyways, Harry has always been such a gentleman.

Harry was ushering back when I was in school, which was quite a long time ago. I always try to go down to his corner to say hello. At one of the early games this year when I saw him missing, I talked to his replacement and asked where he was. The interloper did not know who I was talking about--idiot.
