Harry A Mazier

Harry worked at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center for Emergency Psychiatric Services for 26 years, and had an uncanny talent for connecting with his clients. For the last two years of his work in Santa Clara, he acted as a liaison to help house the homeless, a cause in which he felt truly passionate. Every small victory was celebrated and only encouraged him to continue the fight to help ease the ever-growing population needing assistance.

He was a man who lived life to the fullest, and expressed himself in countless ways. His interests and accomplishments were many and broad – be it photography, music, off-road racing, attending the annual Burningman festival, appreciation of fine wine and food, making new friends – he approached everything with unbridled enthusiasm. He was a gentle soul, accepting of all and judgmental of none, and he will be remembered with much love by everyone fortunate enough to have met him. As one friend so aptly wrote “wherever you were present, possibility and mystery and most of all, joy existed, too.”

Services will be held at the Willow Glen Funeral Home on March 14, 2014 at 11 am, with a reception following immediately afterward. There will be short ceremony for the placement of the ashes on Saturday, March 15 at noon at the Santa Clara Mission Cemetery (in or by the St. Joseph Mausoleum), 490 Lincoln Street, Santa Clara, CA 95050.

In lieu of flowers, friends and family are requesting donations be made to Destination Home, EHC LifeBuilders, or a charity of their choice.
