Pee Wee's laughter was contagious . His kindness was a great part of who he was . His shoulders strong and his ears open to listen to anyones problems. His humor made him who he was, a clown. I have been blessed to know Pee Wee .... may he share his hereafter w/ many of his now gone clowns .. Peace be w/ you , miss kitty

I met Harry when i cared for him as a home health nurse. He impressed me so much with his activities with the Kazim Shriners. I will always remember his smile and kind words.
