My family was very fortunate to have grown up right across the street from this wonderful family. As kids we were always outside playing and I remember 'skateboard hill' too and all the fun times the kids around the block had.
I always enjoyed when me and my mom would 'go visiting' around the neighborhood, Henry and Ruth always welcomed us with open arms, and always had some good stories to share.
I'm very sorry for your loss, my thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time.

So many of my childhood memories were tied to the annual “Summer Kid Exchange Program”. I always loved coming to Highland City to spend time with my Aunts, Uncles and Cousins. I especially loved coming to Uncle Henry and Aunt Ruth’s house. There were always other kids around whether they were related or not. That was the yard everybody played in. And played we did. All day, every day. Whether it was Neighborhood Hide-n-Seek or excursions down ‘Skateboard Hill’ and most of all, there was always laughter. None was louder than Uncle Henrys. Although he must have had them, I never saw him without a smile and he always had a special place in my heart. Erwin, Darryl, Pat and Pam, I am so sorry for your loss and can only say that he is now where he wanted to be, right by Aunt Ruth’s’ side.
My Love to all,
Loi and Jamie Hamm
