It's amazing how much one person can touch the world. I've seen over the past few days just how true that is for my Dad. How many times have I been told what a great man he was! And he truly was...a great husband, father, doctor, coach, volunteer, friend, everything!
Our old high school posted a very nice bulletin about Dad's passing:
I have some very sad news to pass on to the Harbor High community.
Yesterday afternoon, D.H. passed away after a brave battle with lung cancer. D. is survived by his wife and 3 children who all attended Harbor High. Our thoughts and prayers are with the [family] at this difficult time.
In a community of supportive parents, D. stood out as one of the best. He possessed a love for this school that was second to none. His kindness, wisdom, integrity and unassuming manner were traits that many of us were blessed by. He gave his time selflessly to serve the staff and students of Harbor High for many years, contributing to several campus programs.
D. was one of the founders of the Navigators, which later branched into what is now our Foundation. He served as a mentor for the Da Vinci Academy and played key roles on several school committees. As an example of D.'s caring nature, after the untimely death of a Costa Mesa High School football player a few years ago, D. launched a head injury monitoring program for our athletes to help prevent a similar occurrence at Harbor High.
Most important to me personally, D. was a mentor and a friend. He offered me his support and counsel during difficult times and I could always rely on him for sage advice on a number of different issues. He consistently maintained a positive perspective on life and just being in his presence made me feel that everything was going to be okay. D. had that same effect on countless people and we were all blessed by his beautiful spirit.
