Harry retired from US Steel in 1992 with 39 years of service. He was a longtime member of Bluff Park United Methodist Church. Harry loved his family, friends and outdoors. Nearing retirement, Harry and Peggy purchased a farm in Warm Springs to spend time near family. Harry volunteered in their church and enjoyed extensive travel and adventures with family and friends. Harry particularly enjoyed fishing trips from the Little River to Sopchoppy. Recently, Harry was reunited with his high school sweetheart, Judy Crowder Fryer and her family. Their love and kindness gave him a new happiness.

Cook; great-grandchildren Wyatt, Beau, and Owen Crockett along with special nieces and nephews and close friends.
