RIP Killer. A great baseball player, an even better person. Target Field won't be the same without you there on opening day...

It's sad to see the passing of a real American hero. A genuine role model for all Americans.

Peace be to you Mr. Killebrew and deepest sympathies to the entire Killebrew family.

Early memories as a kid and Harmon being the one you wanted to hit the ball like. Sorry for the loss.

It was a good fight Killer and you obviously knew when to give in and get some comfort. Regards to the family.

Harmon, you were one of the good guys. I have great memories as a kid meeting you in the parking lot at the old Met. You were great with the kids. Thanks for that. God Bless...be at peace
