Harry was the eldest of three brothers and a dedicated son to his parents. He grew up in New England, loving fishing and boating. He was a hard worker from a young age and left high school to help provide for his family. Harry was in the MASH unit in the US Army during the Korean conflict and attended Fenn College for drafting courses courtesy of the GI bill upon his return. After completing his courses at Fenn, he earned his GED and became a master machinist at Cleveland Pneumatic Tool Co., manufacturing airplane parts, and later at Ferry Cap & Set Screw. He even tried his hand at real estate. Harry finished his career at Ohio Nuclear (Technicare)/Johnson & Johnson, making models of various medical imaging devices from engineering blueprints.
In his free time, Harry enjoyed taking his daughters (and later grandchildren) camping, fishing, and boating. Harry was an avid league bowler for many years. He was a freelance horticulturist and had many tanks of tropical fish. He was an amateur photographer and videographer. He had a lovely singing voice and enjoyed harmonizing with his family, especially at Christmas time. He was an avid holistic medicine enthusiast and took a variety of different vitamins to keep him healthy throughout his 95 years. He was always willing to share his findings with others suffering various ailments!
