I have nothing but great memories growing up with Uncle Harry we made up our own songs and he was more than an uncle he was also a Dad. He was always there and gave great advice and made me laugh every time I was around him. I love you Uncle Harry. I will always treasure our last conversation It was awesome. I am thankful I got to spend that time with him. And I will never forget sitting in between him and Grandmom Rose at Bishop Moore football games they were a blast!! Love you Uncle Harry xoxoox
