Vale Harry
1st February 1963 - 26th July 2020




Such an incredible loss of a man, with so much left to give and achieve. A.V




Harry was absolutely wonderful with the going viral series and I couldn't believe it when I heard of his death last night. Rest in peace. A.N




Harry is a great man. Best RACGP leader we ever had. We will sadly miss him. I want to wish his family my deepest sympathies. P.K




love and prayers to all Harry's family May he rest now and thank him for all his hard work. E.R




I am very saddened to hear that Dr Nespolon was even sick, let alone has died. On the webcasts, he seemed so vigorous. I am a NZ physician leading a group of endocrinologists and the local information we were receiving around Covid was minimal as we went into lockdown. I found that these series of podcasts immensely helpful and an excellent resource to help me guide our group as we continued patient care in this rapidly changing environment. My warmest sympathies to Dr Nespolon’s family. He was an impressive man and doctor. S.M




So sad. RIP. Will miss him a lot. S.H




My sincere condolences to the family Always enjoyed listening to Dr. Nespolon on Going Viral Episodes. Always polite and articulate!! U.P




I feel as though I knew him, and I certainly admire him and the selfless contribution he made to medical knowledge and direction even when he was very ill. I am not a real GP, being primarily a surgical assistant in latter years, but just being a doctor attracts people to approach for practical and sensible advice in times of challenge. It was so helpful to be in a position to dispense commonsense answers to their queries, and to find knowledge when in need, as a result of “Going Viral”. Thank you, Harry Nespolon and Healthed. M.L




When there was a need-God took Dr Harry from the top shelf and he responded gloriously-unfair that the listening medicos and nurses did not know of his suffering. I was shocked when the announcement was made of Dr Harry’s passing. I agree with your sentiments. Many, many people listened to this beautiful and unique man and we marveled at his interviews and ability to get to the source. Going viral was birthed beautifully by you and Dr Harry for which we are and forever will be grateful. My condolences to his wife and family. Never forgotten. M.S




A quiet Australian, purposeful, learned, compassionate, a gifted person of many talents supportive of people in many diverse backgrounds and mind sets. D.K.




What an incredible legacy he has left. I too, was deeply stressed and traumatised at the time COVID hit and listening to Harry’s daily podcasts gave me a sense of calm and kept us so well informed at such a terrible time. I had no idea he was struggling on with that terrible diagnosis and still working up until the end. Please pass on my condolences to his family. D.K




As an RN working in the acute care setting, I have found the Go Viral podcast, so reassuring in this whirlwind of information and miss information , and with the calm voice and wide and diverse guests Dr Nespolon brought to the podcast, providing me with so much more than just bare bones information. My condolences to all who have had the privilege to have known and worked with this most excellent person and GP. Yours sincerely, J.P




...such a sad thing to happen but what a fantastic chap. P.W
