RIP - Harry Tomlinson
It is with great sadness that we must announce that Harry Tomlinson died on early Sunday morning the 2nd March 2014
As many of you may know Harry had been suffering from alzheimer's for a number of years. Unfortunately his condition had deteriorated rapidly during the last week.
We hope that many enthusiasts throughout the International Bonsai community will have been inspired by Harrys bonsai teachings, artistry, books and good sense of humour.
Letter of condolences may be sent to Greenwood Bonsai Studio.
There will also be an open book of condolence alongside one of his many bonsai creations.
A memorial service wil be held at a later date.
Petra, Corin and Paul Tomlinson

Re: RIP - Harry Tomlinson
Thank you for letting us know on here, Corin. Harry was one of my first inspirations in British Bonsai. Meeting up with him later, for summer camps was a brilliant and memorable part of my learning. Even in his illness he remained a genial host, though I visited far too infrequently. He will be fondly remembered as one of the British Greats in bonsai. Please pass on my condolences to Petra and Paul and be assured that there are a huge mass of people on here who will also be feeling the sadness and loss.

Harry will be missed . . . but he lives on and on and on in his wonderful book -- The Complete Book of Bonsai. I suspect the vast majority of us have referred to it many times over our own years in bonsai.
I wish I had met him . . . condolences to his family.

Very sad indeed, we have lost two very good Bonsai men in the last few months, unfortunately for me I never got to meet Harry.
I remember when we were in the UK in 1989 we were to go there but, never got there due to unforseen circumstances.
He will be missed by his many fans.
RIP Harry fly well to your destination. Darky.

Re: RIP - Harry Tomlinson
I have his book sitting in front of me now. It's sad to know that the aruthor is gone,--- and comforting to know that he will live on through the work he left behind and the bonsai he inspired. Let it be that in some way all of use can leave some sort of significant legacy as great as Harry's. Many of us learned bonsai through his teachings I hope we can all learn from his humanity and be known for it as well as he. Good by dear friend.

I have an everlasting memory of Harry sitting in the sun at Greenwood, styling one of his trees. It was my first serious conversation on the subject with an expert and also the first inspiration to "try it". Many years later I am still trying - thanks to Harry. Condolences to the family.
