Harry LOVED and cherished his family, friends and home.  He adored fishing, hunting, NASCAR, car shows, flea markets, Country and 1960’s music.  He couldn’t get enough of his home in the woods.  He was such a character-had such a sense of humor, but could be     quite contrary! He definitely would speak his mind.

He served in the US Army from 1967-1970 with the Army Corps of Engineers.

Also surviving are his uncle Harry of El Paso, TX, niece Daneille Krodel and her husband and son of Elizabethtown, nephew Shawn Rhoads (Audra) of Palm Coast , FL and several cousins.
