After flashing forward to reveal each character’s future, the series finale of “Parks and Recreation” paid tribute to another important part of the team. The episode ended with a message in honor of series co-executive producer, writer and guest star Harris Wittels, who died last week.
“We love you, Harris,” read a message after the credits rolled. Harris also appeared multiple times on the series as an employee from the animal control office.

Aziz Ansari, who was close with Wittels, wrote a letter on his Tumblr account last week in dedication to the writer. “There are so few people that you meet in life that give you that feeling that you’ve found a real unique, original person,” Ansari wrote. “Harris Wittels was one of those.”
