So sorry to hear that Harry passed away. To Cheryl and family, you have my sympathies.
Some of my fondest childhood memories are of my family spending Sunday evenings at Grandma Wetzel’s house with my Uncle Harry, Aunt Eileen and my cousins from Baldwin. Eating Grandma’s incredible spaghetti served with fried potatoes covered in smooth Sealtest cottage cheese. (OMG…what I wouldn’t do to enjoy that again!) Waiting for the Lawrence Welk show to end so we could watch the Wonderful World of Disney. Or, just setting on the back steps with my cousins, stargazing, trying to figure out the “man in the moon”. So many great times and so many great memories.
Rest in peace Uncle Harry…I’m comforted by God’s gift that has now placed my father with all of his siblings back together with their parents in his kingdom!
To my cousins Vikki, Cheryl and Darla; may God fill your hearts with comfort and know you are in our prayers.
I remember when his house outside of Ballwin was being built, what a job. Also
My Dad and I went rabbit hunting with him once and he was such a good shoot that
he used a bow and arrow. One of the kindest men I ever met.
Please accept our deepest sympathies.

I’m very grateful for the life of my Uncle Harry—the last of my dad Orville’s siblings—and mourn his passing. I live in Virginia and up until this year have been blessed to travel to MO over Christmas when my family would always look forward to having lunch with Uncle Harry (and then pick up klump and pork sausage at Millers--Uncle Harry used to joke with me about how much I liked klump). He delighted us in his willingness and ability to travel during his 80’s—and the ziplining amazed me—he inspired me and now this is on my list to try!
My prayers will stay with my cousins Darla, Cheryl and Vikki, all of whom I hope to reconnect with in the future.
