    Subject:  My Friend, Harry Bartell

    Folks;

       I received this note, which I share with you:

>     It is with sadness and respect that we inform you that our father, Harry,
>     played his last scene and passed away yesterday afternoon, February 26,
>     2004.

>     Judie and Will Bartell

       With his amazing career, the only thing I can think about right now is
    that I'll no longer receive the short emails from him, drolly commenting on
    something-or-other with a short quip guaranteed to make me chuckle. Or the
    infrequent telephone call when we'd chat, and I'd always be amazed that I was
    hearing that voice with just a tinge of accent coming through the line. He
    once sent me a gift of a stuffed puppy, with a note that if I didn't like it,
    I might find someone close by who would; as he anticipated, I opened the box
    in front of my then small child, who's eyes lit up when she saw me remove it
    from the box. I was hoping against hope that we'd be together at REPS this
    year, even though I knew it wasn't to be.

       I'll drink to you tonight, Harry. Not because you had a career that
    spanned decades, not because you were a class act who always had a few
    moments for anyone and seemed constantly bewildered that anyone remembered
    and appreciated the body of work you've left [removed] because you were a
    good friend who could always make me laugh. I miss you already.
