Harry graduated from State College High School in 1943. He proudly served in the United States Army during World War Il receiving the US Army Commendation Medal and retired after 27 years of service.  Harry was a generous and kind man, who proudly wore his World War Il cap everywhere. After military retirement he worked for the US Postal Service in State College for 30 years and then for Weis Markets.

Harry and Marita enjoyed their home with many gardens and the wildlife that visited daily. Their passion was raising their poodles and cats. Over the years they established many special relationships with their neighbors, especially with Frederick Fernsler, who continued visiting Harry regularly at Wynwood. They had a special relationship as well, for many years with Randy Confer of State College.
