Steve Richter wrote a sympathy message

“I was deeply saddened to hear about Dr Harms' death. I found out quite late after the fact and I hope that this message doesn't intrude on your family's privacy. I was a sociology student of Dr Harms' at MSU. To say that your husband me would be putting it lightly. Before I took his deviance course and met the man who was John Harms, I hadn't a clue what I was actually going to do with my life. He opened the world up to me. I owe him a debt of gratitude and I'm terribly sorry for your loss.”
