Harry always longed for adventure and in 1963 he moved his family from Wisconsin to California. His greatest passion was fishing in the waters of Mexico. After retiring in his 40’s, he purchased a second home in Bahia de los Angeles, Mexico. He had a great time with all his friends fishing off his boat and driving his dune buggy along the seashore. He always longed to be at the beach and was happiest there. Wherever Harry went, his friends and family always enjoyed listening to his interesting tales.
