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.
