Harry Balsam

I attended the funeral in London last Friday of Harry Balsam. He was the father of my manager Colin and they were very close. Harry was an amazing person who meant a great deal to many people and was highly respected within the Jewish community.He survived no less than 8 concentration camps during the second world war, though he witnessed the death of most of his family. Despite this he was not bitter about his life, indeed the very opposite. I was impressed by the ceremony and how the Jewish community come togther to support each other. I know Colin is going to miss him dearly, and i felt priveleged to be at the service. Craig David was also at the funeral and we chatted for a few minutes. He seems like a nice guy..so young too.
