To our "Pops" Mr. Harry, You've always said "we all have to go that way, Hon" and I still hear your words but it is really hard to deal with now that you're gone. Life sometimes isn't easy! Your chair sits mostly empty in our living room, the bench outside was just for you as you like to watch the traffic go by. I am hanging the wind sock we just bought for you near it so it will remind us of you as it blows. You always watched that sock outside your window to monitor that wind!
I could not have asked for a better father-in-law. I love you and will miss your wise remarks. You were a man of few words, but when you spoke people listened. Your smile, your love of cowboy boots and western hats, your being particular about your appearance will be the things I will keep fond memories of. You were so proud when you came in from the Day Center and told us a woman had said "your pants were creased so sharp you could use it as a knife"! You have always been appreciative and such a southern gentleman, especially around the ladies lol!
We already miss your presence at the table for Sunday dinner as you always enjoyed your meal. You would say "this is some good eating!" as you ate everything on your plate, one thing at a time. Once done, you would let us know you were ready for dessert, "sweetening" as you call it. So I knew I had to make a cobbler or something or Robert had to bake a cake for dinner. We enjoyed every minute with you.
You have always had love for family. We all loved you just as much. You had become my "pops" just as Robert's. We have done whatever we thought was needed to make you happy. I think we did well! We will be okay as we continue to take care of each other but will miss you greatly. And Pops, one more thing...I want to thank you and Clara for creating for me, my Robert.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

My dad I feel was a very humble man who would help his family in a heartbeat! I will miss the small talks we used to have. He would say "son, if I never have another beer, I'm good". We used to take walks together, we often ate together and enjoyed watching cars going by as we sat together on the bench in front of our house. One of his favorite things to do was to go riding, to wherever - eating a few peppermints along the way. A favorite stop was the car wash. He would often get out, walk around and observe me cleaning my truck. If you know him, you know I got it
honestly...
He often told me "I'm proud of you guys" for the way Debra and I have worked together to have and take care of home. That's another thing I think I inherited from him as he always took care of his. We often talked about family and the things we used to do at his house in Broken Bow like hiding out one night with guns to shoot the wild dog that had been attacking and killing his chickens. He loved coming to our house, we would watch westerns or the Three Stooges if I could find them until they watched us!
Growing up Pops was not as much a part of my life as he had become in his later years. I felt we became so much closer later in his life and I am grateful for that. The last five years or so I have got to know him as kind, loving and caring. I have grown to love him more than I ever thought I would. Dad, even though we told you often, I love you and will really really miss you. Love ya Dad, Robert Burris Sr.
