He was preceded in death by his parents, Alma and Ed, and sister, Ruth Thompson. He is survived by son, Joseph of Winslow, Arizona, and daughter, Mary (Roland) Chamberland of Oak Hills. He also leaves six grandchildren: Kirsten (Chris) Faulkner, Holly (Dave) Thibeau, Derek Gray; Daniel, James, and Lauryn; and 4 great grandchildren. He also leaves brothers Robert (Paula), and Charles (Jan), of Akron, brother-in-law, Bernie Thompson, and many nieces and nephews. The family would like to extend special thanks to Amabel and staff of Joy Residential Care for the love and care they gave him. A Veteran’s ceremony will take place on Sept 28 at 11:15 AM at Riverside National Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made in Harry’s name to St. Joseph Catholic Church, 877 North Campus Ave, Upland, 91786.
