Harry Bernard Flotemersch passed away at age 60 on August 19th at Hurley Medical Center in Flint, Michigan as the result of an accident. He was surrounded by those he held closest to his heart.
Harry was born on December 9th, 1961 in Carrollton, Kentucky to Harry Joseph Flotemersch and Janet Sylvia Lehman Flotemersch. He spent his childhood years in Carrollton, where he ultimately graduated and received his diploma from Carroll County High School. Continuing his educational path then led him to Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Indiana, proudly graduating in 1984 with a B.S. in electrical engineering. And yet he still wanted to learn more, finally finishing his schooling with a M.S. in manufacturing management from Kettering University in 1992.
After moving to mid-Michigan, Harry began his career at Delphi Automotive (AC Spark Plug / GMC), where he would work for 18 years from 1984 to 2002. He then moved to Chrysler, where he would remain until 2009. In the following year, Harry would begin a short stint at BAE Systems (2009-2011), before moving on to Shainin Consulting (2012-2018). From 2018 until the time of his passing, Harry worked at TE Connectivity.
Some of Harry’s long time passions included mountain biking and especially windsurfing. In recent years, Harry rediscovered his love of music with his band, the Woodstove Hooters, where he was primarily the lead singer but also enjoyed playing banjo and percussion. His favorite song that he wrote was called "That Ol’ Super C", a song dedicated to his father-in-law, Gary E. June.
Harry is survived by his wife Debra, his sons Harry-Thomas, Matthew, and Benjamin, his sisters Janet and Joann, his brothers Joe and Thomas, and his mother, Janet Sylvia Lehman Flotemersch.
Harry was preceded in death by his father Harry Joseph Flotemersch.
