Condolences & Memories (2 entries)

We cherish fond memories of Harry at our Christmas dinner table for several years and how he chose the 45-minute journey on foot rather than a car ride to get here. He cultivated a large garden of tomato plants which made us marvel and there were always 2 or 3 newly repaired old bicycles for sale in front of 38 Roblin whenever we dropped in. We will miss the life he modeled. - Posted by: Audrey & Blenus Wright (friends) on: Apr 25, 2013

Very sorry to hear about the passing of Uncle Harry. Last saw him when he visited Wpg. He always had good stories to tell of his days at Kresge's. There will be less bikes on the road for a long time because of his passing - Posted by: Carol (Betker) Ronald (Niece) on: Apr 25, 2013
