A Death in the Family

Posted on April 25, 2009 by Joan

Uncle Fred Harris passed away on Thursday, April 23rd in Toronto. He was 93 years old. He and his wife Doris were very close to my parents and I stayed with them in 2001-2 when my mother was ill. He had quadruple bypass surgery that year at age 86 which is, in itself, pretty remarkable.
The funeral will be a week today in St. Catharines, Ontario.

    Well that’s sad.
    I don’t know that I ever met him, but I have heard you talk about “Uncle Fred”.

    Are you going out for the funeral?

    You would have met them years ago when we used to go to Ontario for holidays but Sue is the only one who has visited in recent memory, and that was probably 15 years ago.
    No–I was prepared to go East but I’m leaving for Vegas on Friday.
