In knowing someone over 40 years, you think you really KNOW them. But unti the chips are down, you really don't know them. In the last 1 1/2 years, I got to know Harry in a way I never dreamed. He showed me how to die with dignity, acceptance, grace and bravery. Every time I saw him, he made everyone feel very comfortable with his condition, often joking about it. He made one forget he was even sick. I respect how he conducted everything in his life and himself throughout the ordeal and for all those things, I consider him a real hero.
Also, other heros emerged.
His sister Allison, who gave up her life in Richmond to help Harry and the family during the entire time since his original diagnosis. She kept me up to date and we often shared old photos of good times in the past. We talked each other through the shock and pain of ulitmately losing our brother. She too has shown herself to be a hero to me.
His wife, Cindy who was, it seemed to be pre-ordained to be his ultimiate caretaker, getting a degree in Socal Work, helping people deal with tragic events at hospitals. This made her incredibly suited to be at Harry's side during this ordeal.. He made a great choice in a steady mate and loving wife. She also has dealt with this tragic chain events with dignity and grace.. She too is a hero in my book.
God rest Harry's sole, one of my best and oldest friends.
Love you buddy! You are my brother!
Jim
