Rest In Peace Uncle Harry, well take it from it here! Please give my dad a hug from his all his girls (including my mom) and my brother. You will definitely be missed. From your humor to your unconditionally love and joy! The way Melissa stated on a post that my Uncle was one of those that would have you laughing all the time! You couldn’t wait to visit him and Aunt Eileen! He would always play with us and ya down and tickle you like crazy until he always got in trouble by aunt Eileen…”HARRY!!!” She’d yell and he’d stop for a second saying “you got me in trouble” he’d get in trouble more than we did!!
Rest In Peace Uncle Harry! We love you!! 😥♥️🙏🏻

I am so sad and sorry about the loss of Uncle Harry. He was always very funny/silly. He loved to romp around with us when we were kids and get us in trouble. I pray for you Aunt Eileen, Allison, Carolyn and families for the Lord’s grace to cover you all and get you through this most painful time.

Harry was a wonderful friend I’ve known for some 40+ years. I think of Harry and Eileen as family. I will miss his kindness, friendship, and humor. May he now have a well deserved rest in peace. When you meet with Eddie and Kelly, try to behave…….

To my “0ther Brother”, Harry Brown : Well Harr it has been a long heartwarming child and adulthood for you and your simple Cuz. One of the most memorable was our trip to Cancun in 1988. We were in the process of having a condo built and we decided to take a course in Spanish at a local high school. Upon arrival in Cancun we had to kill over five hours prior to checking-in. We decided to sit outside and order cocktails and lunch. I promptly replied, ” now do not order a thing, I will handle this BECAUSE I can read the menu better than YOU three!!! I managed to ask many questions etc and ok 👌. The waiters delivered every SINGLE item I pointed to OMG…. the bill was almost $20,000 pesos?????? Love you and your family, miss you.
