Harry Jennings.....with his wry sense of humor, and that the "U" in his name stood for the University of Michigan.....He has gone to Heaven with a sparkling humor.
And we are without that wonderful person with his devotion to his friends. God bless Harry Jennings, but watch him carefully!
With love

Marsha, Mary and Bob,
You are all in my prayers and thoughts during this difficult time. Your dad was a true gem! He and your mom welcomed me into your home in FL with open arms and I felt like part of the family immediately. He was a super funny guy and now he can look for more "flat space" with Lee in the pearly gates! Love and prayers to all of you.

Rest in Peace Harry, my old friend. Even though you were a bass, I still liked you! Many memories of long and interesting discussions on every topic under the sun. Your friendship was much valued. I hope we will sing Revelation 19 together again one day.
