My Dearest Uncle Harry, only today i have i learned of your departure from this dimension unto your eternal resting place. Words cannot express my love and grief to hear of the news of your passing. my sincerest sympathy to your children and granchildren and all those to whom you are related. my memories of you are thus: Kind, gentle,loving,funny,practicle. coins given me to play single coin machines. later coins translated to beer and whiskey. A calming influence to Uncle Moose and Dad Bob pushing for excellence. Who changes their kid from left handed to right handed?
I have always loved your sublime way to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. i will miss you but you will always live in my heart forever. I count you most venerable among the men who have mentored me and above all have always accepted me for who I was, then and now. Thank You,
Steven Robert Kozak

My favorite memory of Uncle Harry was when he was playing a board game with us and he had to finish this famous quote: "I came, I saw, I conquered." He said, "I came, I saw, I left." It still makes me giggle to this day. Rest in peace, Uncle Harry.
