Uncle Harry will be greatly missed. He was such a big part of our family, and we were all better for having known him. I know that my mom is happy to have her brother with her again. Our terrible pain here on earth may be eased by knowing that he is finally reunited with the rest of the family. My mom, Uncle George, and Aunt Leona have probably been waiting patiently for their brother so they can all play horseshoes together again.

May god bless you Aunt Barb. We will greatly miss Uncle Harry. Just remember, he's up there at the flea market with god by his side. We love you all so much.
