He was a graduate of St. Marys Memorial High School (Class of 1953). He retired from Cooper Tire Co. in Findlay, where he worked as a semi-truck tire builder. He was a member of Eagles Lodge Aerie # 767 in St. Marys. Harry was instrumental in the development of the Hancock Co. Corporation for Independent Living. He and Jeannine were true advocates for the handicapped, and together they devoted countless hours to those in need.
Friendly and outgoing, Harry enjoyed "making his rounds" while visiting with friends. An avid sports fan, he fiercely supported the Cincinnati Reds, The Ohio State Buckeyes and St. Marys Memorial Roughriders. His favorite pastimes included woodworking, stopping in at the Eagles Lodge, fishing in the channel at their lake home and playing softball for the Cooper Tire league. "Capt. Harry" especially enjoyed guiding tours of Grand Lake St. Marys on his pontoon boat for anyone willing to ride along. Above everything else, Harry appreciated the precious times spent with his family.
