My Brother
  My life, and my brothers' and father's, will never be the same again without Harry. He was larger than life. He would object to a memorial service or eulogies, although he had both. He had a wake another night, while all his old friends from high school gathered for hamburgers, beer, and stories.

    I loved him as only you can love family. Flaws don't matter. It's the kind of love that just persists. He was a big-hearted person with a gruff exterior. He was generous to a fault, honest, fair, open-minded, forgiving, He'd go the second mile if you asked for one. No sacrifice was too great when it came to family. He was our hero. He was Mr. Christmas. All of our lives were better because of him--richer, fuller, more adventurous. He probably helped shape all of us into the people we are. The world really was a better place with him in it.

  He will always live in our hearts; he will always influence us. His life really was a life worth celebrating.
