11, 1942 in Fairfield, AL. Harry was a very friendly, outgoing and happy person. He made friends wherever he went. He retired from Kimberly - Clark and Resolute after many years of service.
Many people in the area knew him from his "Harry's Camper Sales" business that he began in his retirement. He called his customers "his friends" and they would call on him through the years for advice on purchases and problems with campers. He knew the answer or would help answer their questions 99% of the time.
