Harry and my sister have been together since she was a teenager, he has been a part of our family for nearly the whole time we've been a family. Harry and Pam were the greatest uncle and aunt my children could hope for, there was never a forgotten birthday, always a Christmas gift. when Harry was at ray o vac, he supplied the batteries to our house for decades! After that it was American dolls... When angel graduated they drove to Michigan to surprise her and join us to celebrate. Harry was never without a story, sitting around a campfire or standing around the back of the pickup truck, there was always something to talk about. I hope everyone has a brother-in-law that they can be proud of, Harry will be missed so much! ❤️. I love you Pam, I hope you feel peace knowing that harry is at rest with no pain, and he left knowing that you will always be loved and cared for. Lynda I hope that you feel like you're part of our family too. You've done so much, please don't hesitate to contact me if you want to talk or if there's anything I can do for you!
