Mr. Anderson was kind to me. Back in 2003 he gave me permission to market an effect of mine that is based on one of his better known routines. I'm grateful that I was able to thank him in person and see him perform live and lecture, when he came to Ontario in 2012.
Little known fact: David Merry and Harry Anderson are tangentially responsible for the start of this blog!
Our condolences to his family and friends.
Here's what others have to say...

Some thoughts from John Larroquette on Twitter:
Harry Anderson. He was wicked smart. He was wicked funny. He had a big laugh. He had a big heart. He delighted in legerdemain especially when he caused someone to scratch their head and proclaim; How the hell did you do that? And he could eat a hamster like no one I ever knew.— John B.

Markie, Charlie, Marsha, Richard, me and the N.C.gang were on a carnival fun ride with Harry. It was a blast. Out in the cosmos tonight, with his fedora at a rakish angle and a 'Watch this' wink to us, he’s coaxing whoever might be out there with him; Pick a card. Any card.— John B.
