Harry was devoted to his family and they meant the world to him.  He loved fishing, hunting, and camping but most of all loved spending time with his family especially family game nights and hosting family gatherings.  He enjoyed coaching his kids in their various sports and was active in his community.  Harry was the first one to always lend a hand to anyone in need. Harry was also an avid fan of the NY Yankees and NY Giants.
