Michael Fremer's HP obituary is superior, I think

MF's reminiscence of Pearson is less of a hagiography than Valin's, and is more honest about HP's personality. Pearson seems to have been a more complex character than most men, and Fremer captures the contradictions well I think. He praises Pearson's importance to the high end audio world without ignoring his sometimes negative impact as well.

I only met Pearson once, when I attended a party at his Sea Cliff house after it was restored following the fire. In the span of a few hours I experienced Harry Pearson at his best, as a charming, affable, and gregarious host, and at his worst, as an asshole with a mean streak.
