PASSINGS

Harvard's number one sports fan, Henry I. Zimmerman '25, died of natural causes on Jan. 21 in Brookline. He was 93.

For 30 years, Zimmerman never missed a men's football or basketball home game. The super-fan also endowed an award for the basketball team's best free-throw shooter and introduced himself to team members during preseason games.

"He took being a fan to the next level," said men's basketball head coach Frank J. Sullivan. "He made a point of getting to know the [first-years] and really tried to follow the kids throughout their maturation."

Zimmerman is survived by his wife, Bona B. Zimmerman; two children and four grandchildren.
