On Tuesday August 19, 2025 of Ardara, Pa. passed with his loving family by his side. Harry was the beloved husband of 48 years to Shelley (Weyant) Grubbs.

Wonderful and devoted dad of Mandy (Tom) Murphy, Harry (Becky) Grubbs, Brittany (Gregg) Hultberg, Michael Grubbs and Kristin Grubbs. Special and adored Pappy of Keegan, Zoey, Ragan, Harley and Abraham. Brother of Harold (Karen) Grubbs and Charlene (Mark) Watkoski. Also survived by numerous nieces and nephews and all who loved Big Har. Proceeded in passing by his parents; Robert and Ellen Grubbs and siblings; Robert Grubbs, Butch Grubbs, Bones Grubbs and Ann Shannon.

To best describe Harry was being a selfless person. He put his family first and his beautiful sense of humor will always be remembered. Floating the creek and camping at Slippery Rock brought him much enjoyment and we cannot forget to mention that he was an avid all Pittsburgh sports fan. Most of all, he loved attending all his grandchildren's events.

Per Harry's request all services will be private. Arrangements are in the care of Alfieri Funeral Home Inc. 201 Marguerite Ave Wilmerding PA 15148. Please visit us at www.alfierifuneralhome.com for online condolences.
