Dear Aunt Betty, Eric, Victor and Dale and extended family. I can't tell you how wonderful my memories are of Uncle Harry. I don't ever remember him being unpleasant, unhappy and unkind. Even though in my younger days and stupidity, I probably gave him "cause". He always was smiling, was gentle and tender in all of his doings. One could only hope to have that said about oneself at the conclusion of their life. My condolences to you all and know of the magnitude of your loss, having experienced it with my own father. When words fail us, we rely on the Spirit and unseen angels to bring comfort and peace, even in the midst of so much sadness. While we have been apart for the better part of 40+ years, Uncle Harry, much like you all....... left a mark that was unequaled in the many I have encountered in my travels around the world. My best to you all and God bless, Ken Dueck - Posted by: Ken Dueck (Nephew) on: Aug 02, 2018
