    Joe Boy and Harry are cousins and Joe says he remembers Uncle Andrew & Aunt Martha lived with them for a short time when they moved from West and Harry’s crib was in the dining room. He recalls carrying him around and playing with him.
    True, that Harry put a smile on everyones face. Such a sweet person.
    Rest in peace, Harry!

    My brother-in-law, Harry Lee, was truly one of the kindest, sweetest, funniest men I have ever met. He could always be counted on at parties to say something kind or funny, or both. He would dance with all us single old ladies, and make us feel special. He loved my sister Terry so very much! We will miss him beyond words. MJ
