As well as thirteen great grandchildren.
In addition to his parents Harry was preceded in death by his wife Judy (Gay). His siblings Clifford (Wilma) Wilson, Helen (Herman) Wright and Lorrayne (Felix) Garcia.
Affectionately known as "Grandpa"
He certainly left an impression on everyone he met. Most people in Jackson County will remember him with either a handshake or hug, followed by a smile.
Harry has been a devout Christian for most of his life and was extremely proud to have served in the U.S Army.
His love for Black Angus cattle, fishing, golfing, bluegrass music, clothes shopping, dress clothes, and of course…Diet Coke, he will be greatly missed.
He loved Farm Bureau and Kentucky Basketball. He was also known for his ability to give "nicknames" to almost everyone he knew. Thanks for being a great example of a man to all of us, Grandpa.
Special thanks to his caregivers Cathy Gabbard and Jonathan Brock.
