Harry loved his family and was very devoted to them as they were to him. He adored his nieces and nephews and was very fortunate to be able to spend lots of time with them. One of his favorite things to do was to visit his brother, Roger, and family for six weeks each spring and fall. Another favorite pastime of Harry’s was to watch movies. He had a very large movie collection. He was also a great Packers fan and attended many games with his family.
