**In Loving Memory of My Cousin Harry**

Harry, may you rest in peace, my dear cousin and lifelong friend.

When I first heard the news of your passing, I was overcome with sadness and disbelief. But almost instantly, my heart turned to the wonderful memories we shared growing up in Willow Grove. I remember our endless adventures-sledding with wild joy down the hill in our side yard, building forts and tunnels in the pine forest behind our home, spending hours on the front porch lost in our imaginations with model cars. I can still hear the crack of a baseball against a bat in our makeshift court, as we imagined ourselves as the greats of the game.

As we grew older, we tried to build a car in my garage-but that one never quite got off the ground. Later in life, we spent hours under your car in your parents´ garage, trying to add a hood scoop or fix the exhaust.

Though life took us down different paths and separated us by miles, you were never far from my thoughts. I´ll always cherish those late-night calls-how you´d start each one with the familiar words, "Roberto, do you remember..." or "Did you know..." In those moments, time seemed to melt away as we relived the past we shared.

Harry, you lived a full and good life. Your spirit, laughter, sense of humor, and the memories you left behind will always remain with me. You will be deeply missed and forever loved.

Rest easy, cousin. Until we meet again.

-Bobby
