Uncle Harry had a very peaceful passing.  

The story, via Connie:

They (the nurses) had just bathed him, fixed his hair, gotten him
    all comfortable.  He raised his head, grinned, and
    said, "Now give me a kiss."
When they came back about 10 minutes later to check
    on him he was gone.
	
(I didn't hear if he got the kiss)
