Sunrise 13. 01. 37. Sunset 30. 04. 13. For Harry the war is finally over, The battle bravely won, Look out across the universe, Here comes your son. A lifetime of hard work, Effort measured by the foot, The body cried enough, I’m finished, Kaput!Harry, a ray of Corbierè light, He knew his time had come, Like a bluebird across the water, I’m going. . . I’m gone. A much-loved father and grandfather who will be sadly missed.
