Many people had wonderful and insightful comments about Harry. This page will carry some of my favorites from the famous and not so famous.

James Chapin, Harry's older brother "It was Harry's gift to inspire and his death has not diminished that. Our job is not to attempt the impossible task of filling Harry's shoes, but rather to accept Harry's challenge to better fill our own". - Memorial Service for Harry
Bob Dole, conservative politician "He could of been a millionaire... instead, Harry Chapin chose to try to make a lasting world by Upholding his commitments to a higher world order." - Newsday 
Jac Holzman, founder of Elektra records   "Since the Doors, any artist I really wanted to sign I could. I didn't want to lose now, and not this artist. It became something of a crusade."  - Follow the  Music
Bruce Springsteen, singer   "...I used to try to hide from him...he was trying to get me to do something, and he said something I'll always remember, 'I play one night for me and one for the other guy' " - Tribute concert, December 7, 1987
