To all the Brown family:
I was very sad to read about Harry passing away.It's been many many years since I had seen him,but suprisingly his memory always cropped up.He was a delightful and dear friend of my father,Ralph Leinbach.My Dad passed away in 1994.The many good times and laughs they had are still talked about today.He was a very good friend and such a great person to know.I still repeat some of the stories that made us laugh way back then of those two friends.
My heartfelt condolences and prayers to all the family.
Sincerely,
Madeline Leinbach Burns
