Uncle Harry Turns 95 This Week!

Happy Birthday Uncle Harry.
 
Turning 95 is a huge deal! I've had you in my life for nearly 72 years. Well, what was I, four, when you entered it? You still tell the story about me being told that my Uncle Harry's nickname was Red, because he has red hair. But when I first saw you I said,  It's NOT RED, IT'S ORANGE!" I love that we both still tell this story all these years later.
 
It's been a wonderful 95 years.
You are truly blessed with a wonderful wife, children,
grand children and great grand children, nieces and nephews,
friends, and community
who all
LOVE and RESPECT and CHERISH YOU!
 
How could we not? You are such a Mench!
 
 


95 candles for 95 years of an exemplary life!
 
 

I LOVE YOU UNCLE HARRY!
Thank you for being there for me and mine!

  9. Lovely tribute to Uncle Harry! I had an uncle whose nickname was also Red. He had red hair but I always thought he should be called Red because his skin always burned out in the sun. Memories are so great and you seem to have a lot of them to share.
