Harry Walter Juers (03/05/1930 - 03/28/2012)

From my perspective (Roy Juers II speaking), Harry was my eldest uncle; first-borne to Harry Paul & Helen Juers.

I only had 5 uncles from immediate family; my mom only has 1 sister, so my uncles were all dad's brothers.
Harry was an amazing man, and I was very close to him, more so than any of the others.

He persevered thru polio & complications therefrom his whole adult life, and did it with class & humor.
Everyone who knew him missed him greatly, but the fact that with his physical challenges, that he outlived all of his brothers, is a testament to how tough the man was, despite how gentle he was in his heart.
