Such an important part of my childhood and early adulthood. Such a giant of a man to me. Uncle Harvey and "Auntie" Louise will always remain in my heart. Though a mortal man my Uncle exhibited Godly qualities on so so many occasions. He represents the best that his parents could have ever hoped for in this life. My best to Auntie Louise and all of my cousins during this time. To my Uncle...Go Rest High with our Lord.

With much LOVE, Bruce.

Gerry,

It's a very difficult time, I know, but just remember, your father is at peace and with God now. Both them are smiling down on you and your family to guide you through this time. If I can help let me know.

Peace
