OH NO! so sad! He will be sorely missed! His love of bikes and of France are inspiring to those of us who love both.

So sad. If anyone gets news of a memorial service please post here. I will actually be in Boston next weekend. I bought one bike from Harris, and Sheldon helped me restore another by email correspondance. So sad..........

He helped me too, online and via personal emails too. He was just an endless source of knowledge. His passing will leave a huge gap in the collective base of bicycle know-how. He was so positive and upbeat about his MS conditions, and to lose the battle so early is just too sad.
For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.

His death is so sad. I just e-mailed him last Saturday with a question and got a quick reply. He was so helpful to me and my partner. He will be missed!

Oh God. That is so sad. He was just such a great guy in so many ways. I can't believe it. Thanks for letting us know.
