Subject: RE: Harry Chapin Final Concert
I miss you Harry, I miss your laughter and your silly jokes that never made sense.   I miss how you made people smile with your music, I miss how you would treat everyone as a friend no matter how much money that had or didn't have. You never care Harry how someone looked, what their race was or where they were from. You hand was always out to welcome everyone.

when you got famous Harry, you kept your promise that whatever it took you would never stop spreading the message about hunger and poverty. You gave half of everything you had to help people that were in need. You didn't talk the talk, you walked the walk.

Your phone Harry was always open. Success never changed you , people would call your house that you never met and you would still talk to them.

How your eyes would light up when you talked about the kids. How you would laugh when people would say your song sucked so you made a t-shirt saying "Harry it sucked" and sell them to raise money for the hungry.

How every moment on stage no matter how many times was always a wonderment for you. Like a child at Disney Land that you never took for granted. How you never stopped thanking folks for coming to see you.

The old car Harry that you would never retire because it would waste money that someone in need could use. How you treated those who were not kind or good with gentle compassion and a prayer that they may someday change.

I miss you Harry - my friend
