    Harry was a great guy and quite an influence to liven up the often less than exciting Miller family. He will be missed.

    One of my all-time favorite cousins! His humor was so contagious! I bet there’s a party going on in heaven right now with the entire Miller gang. We’ll miss you Harry.

    To the KellyFamily, Harry Kelly was a long time friend of the Rhoads family( my mother’s family) from
    the time he and his brother Dick appeared at my Uncle Bill’s grocery store,( at 13th & Northampton)as young boys, and asked if they could get a job delivering groceries. He worked at my Uncle’s store part time and in the summers as he went through school, as a clerk and stocking shelves, until he went in the Army
    during WW 2. He remained a close friend of my family all of his life. He will be
    missed ……

    My deepest sympathy to all the family. Harry was a special friend of our family out at the Rhoads’ farm – Williams township -He will be missed for his happy personality and always making you laugh. I know he loved all his children and grandchildren so much and would always tell me about how they were doing.
    He would always come to visit Aunt Lou, even came to one of her last celebrations even though it was very hard for him. She enjoyed seeing him and they would discuss old times when he would help them at the store.
    God bless you Harry!!
