In Memoriam: Harry Willson Press Release March 10, 2010: It is with deep sorrow that I report the death of Amador Publishers founder Harry Willson at the age of 77. We will miss his wit, wisdom, generosity and unbounded love. He was my dear friend and mentor for more than twenty years. I can still hear him saying, "You're doing it, kiddo," by way of encouragement whenever I felt I had bitten off more than I could chew. He will be with me always in spirit, and with us all through his copious writings. I know I speak for all of Harry's friends, readers and admirers in sending deepest sympathies to Adela, Mary, Andy, Mark and the rest of Harry's family. The greatest honor we can do Harry is to read his words, mix 'em up with a little of our own grey matter, and let ourselves grow in our capacities to think, understand and love. Harry's writing meant the world to him, and it was his gift to the world. He has left a good deal of literary work behind, much of it unpublished, most of it as timely as the day it was written. Harry is gone but still giving. I will continue to publish an essay each month. Here is Harry's Essay for March. with a heavy heart, Zelda ObituaryHarry Willson, 77, a resident of New Mexico since 1958, passed away March 9, 2010. He is survived by his beloved wife of 40 years, Adela Amador; a daughter, Mary Osgood and her husband, Bob; son, Andy and son, Mark and his wife, Margot Richardson; step-son, Orlando and step-son, Armando and his partner, Cammy Kinstedt; two sisters, Ann Willson Amidon and Susan Willson Harr and their families; seven grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; and many dear, dear friends. The family would like to extend their thanks to the loving staff members at Lovelace Rehabilitation Hospital, Canyon Transitional Rehabilitation Center and Hospice of the Sandias for all your efforts to make Harry's last days as joy-filled and comfortable as possible. An Open House celebrating Harry's life was held at La Fonda del Bosque Restaurant at the National Hispanic Cultural Center on Sunday, March 21st. The family asks that all tributes be in the form of donations to the Humanist Society of New Mexico. Tributes from Harry's Readers (and how to contribute your own)
