I will miss my Uncle Harry very very very much. He always made me feel so welcome whenever I stopped over. He had a friendly smile & a glint in his eye; like he was up to something, just for fun.
When I was a child I had a little printing press. I set the type to make calling cards & labels, making a little business of it. Uncle Harry asked me to make labels for his honey jars & even paid me a few cents! I was so proud!
Uncle Harry was a regular volunteer at our Yo-Yo Convention, at the Spinning Top & Yo-Yo Museum. He rode to Burlington with my parents, Wally & Wayne & helped with door prize drawings, tickets & more. One year we had a case of soda left, so I asked him if he wanted to take it home. With an extra big smile & a "well ok, if you're sure" he accepted the case of..guess what? root beer: his favorite. He was a major help at the hardest part of the day, always asking what else he could move, fold or carry.
When we got together Aug. 23, at Ridgewood I brought a harmonica, knowing my dad might play. I was surprised when he asked Uncle Harry to play. Uncle Harry went right at it and played a few tunes for us all. It was a wonderful surprise for us all.
His gentle laugh and hard working nature made a great combination.
