Harry was a great uncle. I remember him taking my sister and I to see Dr Zhivago at the drive inn even though I don't remember much about it. I love you and will miss you.

Harry was a great guy. We were high school buddies and baseball teammates. His Dad & my Dad worked together at McCall's and bowled together. Harry always had a smile on his face. We weren't very close after high school but would see each other around town and at our '69 class reunions. Say hi to our Dad's and my son John, who just passed in Oct. Rest in peace my friend.
