Sidney Harman - Later Years and Death

Later Years and Death

Harman displayed a remarkable amount of energy into his 80s, staying active by playing golf and engaging in various other hobbies. He remained involved in the day-to-day management of Harman-Kardon until formally retiring on his 88th birthday in August 2006 and after turning 90 in 2008 remarked "I don't feel much different than I did at 70. Maybe a little bit, but nothing has significantly diminished."

Harman died on April 12, 2011, in Washington D.C. at the age of 92 of complications from acute myeloid leukemia.

Famous quotes containing the words years and/or death:

    Every immigrant who comes here should be required within five years to learn English or leave the country.
    Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919)

    How I envy you death;
    what could death bring,
    more black, more set with sparks
    to slay, to affright,
    than the memory of those first violets.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
