Mrs. Harmon and family, I wanted to tell you how sorry I was to hear the sad news of the passing of Coach Harmon. When I think about memories from CPA, they always include Coach Harmon. He was the reason that softball was my favorite sport to play at CPA. He was a great coach and a great friend. I will miss him dearly and I will never forget all of the fond memories.
