I knew Harley for almost 13 years as he was a patron of my place of business. He was a lovely man; so kind and courteous. Truly a gentleman and very intersting to converse with. Rest in peace, dear Harley.

Your snack bar chair empty you liked so much at the chick pad.

Harley, Harley:
My heart is sadened we will not be in each others company.
We had a ball on our adventures. didn't we?
I sit at the desk, credenza printer stand and upper hutch you saw me enhance the finish on we retrieved.
I wish you had shared with me what was happening. You were distancing yourself. I see that now knowing the man you are.
I'm glad, really glad, you received my card two weeks ago per Kevin. I wondered why you didn't respond so unlike you.
I fondly remember the rib lunch we had here, the strogonoff lunch, rootbeer floats at the snack bar, tea and cookies. Remember the dunkers we laughed over? Senior Dining announced Monday to our friends your news. I called Lois.
I embrace memories of your companionship, going to lunch dates and The Fifties. Thank you Baby.
Knowing you are with Marie whom you longed for in conversation often should ease my sorrow that is so selfish.
Know you are welcome to dawn my door anytime, remains unchanged at my house.
We had fun going an doing didn't we? Lindstrom and the 3 piece cabinet was our best plan, huh? Loaders and unloaders.
I'm still cooking your New Years hug and owe you that until, we meet again. I envision you introducing me to Marie. Smiles, and big hugs from the chick pad. Know I'm moving the blue hydraengia you admired to the new house this summer. Stay close to me, huh?

Dad..I will forever love you and miss you. I know you are (like Mark said) fixing cars in heaven and Grandma don't know where you are at. I'm glad you didn't suffer any longer than you did, but sometimes it doesn't make it any easier.
