Walk #297 was for this man today. This is Harry Coiner. He and his wife Jennie were my next door neighbors. But Harry passed away on Friday after losing his battle with pancreatic cancer. Harry was an amazingly cheerful man, talented painter, wonderful father, grandfather and husband.
I am walking to Harry's memorial service today. It's about a mile away, and I thought that a walk, today to honor him would last forever. Harry would've thought this was pretty neat.
The church.
They turned out by the dozens to pay respect to their friend, father, grandfather and husband. A remarkable and memorable service for a well loved man. Somehow, it is fitting.
I've walked by this church at least two dozen times in my walks last year and was always fascinated by the structure. I never got "the perfect" picture of this place until today. Somehow, I think Harry had something to do with that, and I will always think of him as I pass here... as the journey continues.
