Harry had been employed at American Refining Group for over 41 years and retired from the production department. He enjoyed tinkering in his shop, long walks, the outdoors, singing, but his greatest joy was time spent with his family and friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents; a brother, Clinton Pearce; and a brother-in-law, Rev. Walter White.
Family will be receiving friends from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. on Sunday in the Hollenbeck-Cahill Funeral Homes Inc, 33 South Ave., where funeral and committal services will be held at 11 a.m. Monday with the Rev.
