I
never write about
funerals . . . They're just
not my bag or cup of tea
when it comes to hitting the
keys.
But this one was an excep-
tion . . . and it should be .. .
because it was the kind Harry
Kosins might have planned
himself.
He knew time was running
out . . . and that sort of takes
away a lot of the family pain
and sorrow . . . Harry would
quip like he was talking
about a game, "Well, Danny,
I beat it again" . . . First with
heart surgery, then cancer .. .
It was his ticker that finally
called quits to Harry's
charade.
If it is true that Harry's
spirit was looking on . . . and
people like noted psychic
Char Margolis believe so .. .
then he saw a whale of a show
in tribute to him.
And it was to perfection .. .
exactly as Harry would have
wanted it.
An overflow crowd well
beyond capacity jammed
every nook and cranny of Ira
Kaufman Chapel . . .
overflowing well into the lob-
by . . . with people he made
friends with throughout the
years . . . from every walk of
life . . . celebrities, fellow
workers, friends, acquain-
tances, boyhood pals and gals,
etc.
And his and Marilyn's three
children each saying
something about Dad.
Rabbi Efry Spectre spoke
some as a rabbi and mostly as
a family friend . . . Harry
would have smiled, too .. .
unless he already was .. .
along with the audience at
some of Rabbi Spectre's
comments.
And don't think most of the
fellows didn't get dressed up
for Harry's funeral . . . How
dare they not, he would say
. . . plus adding, "I hope they
bought their clothes at
Kosins."
CONGRATS ... to Jane
Kasapis . . . on her birthday
. . . to Izzy Malin . . . on his
birthday . . . to Iz and wife
Fran . . . on their 52nd
anniversary.
ON THE MOVE Dept. . . .
Dr. Leslie Miller has moved
her hypnotherapist practice,
the Center For Positive
Achievement, from Birm-
ingham to Farmington Hills.
CONGRATS ... to Ruth
Weiss . . . on her birthday. At
Carl's for dinner with hubby
Harold, she was paged . . . It
was son Dr. Allan Weiss call-
ing from Laguna Hills, Calif.
. . . "Happy birthday, Mom.
Geri and I didn't know what
to give you so we got you a
new granddaughter, Sarah
Joy, weighing 8 pounds, 9
ounces and 21 inches long"
. . . Tell me, what better gift
could they have given Ruth?

TO THE PERSON who
wrote about a recent bar mitz-
vah, sorry I can't use it . . . no
name, address or phone
number . . . All that hand-
writing for nothing.
Hey, readers, put your name
and the other info on items
sent to me . . . Chances are I
won't use your name . . . and
for sure if you say the word
. . . The phone number is for
any questions I may have.
THE BEST thing to do
behind a girl's back is
whisper sweet words in her
ear . . . George Burns says,
"Two things are important in
life — sex and laughs. I'm
sorry I get them at the same
time." . . . Burt Reynolds says,
"I can look at a girl's future
and tell what kind of past
she's going to have." . . . Joey
Adams says, "There's so much
fooling around these days —
the only way to avoid sex is to
get married." ❑
