As he approached age 90, Harry became progressively more forgetful. Personal hygiene became a problem, bills went unpaid, he forgot to eat, and his apartment went un-cleaned.
His daughter moved Harry in with her family, reasoning that a few gentle reminders would help him to become more organized. It worked for a time. Throughout it all Harry never lost his sense of humor.

Susan said, "Dad, you need to zip up your barn door or the horse will get out."
Harry replied sadly, "What can't get up, can't get out."
