Adoring pawpaw to Grace, Lily, Tommy, Olivia, Gabriel and Ames who were the joy of his life. He is our dearest brother, brother-in-law, uncle, great-uncle, cousin and friend to many.
Harry was an avid Cardinals fan, and enjoyed hunting, and fishing with his “Columbia shirt-wearing” family and friends. He enjoyed woodworking and keeping his tools and workbench exceptionally well organized. Harry’s sense of humor sustained throughout his final days. He always put others first and his steadfast faith in God is an inspiration to us all.
