Harry was a ten time national champion and a three-time Olympian in the sport of wrestling. Beyond and above all that, he was a great humanitarian. Gave freely of his time for the improvement of the sport he loved. Fitting that he died offloading wrestling mats for a wrestling tournament. By honoring Harry Geris, the city of London would be sending out a clear message that achievement and community service is a worthwhile endeavor. Above all, the city of London would be doing itself a favor by honoring someone who truly deserves to be honored in death. That would just be the right thing to do.
