Harry George Fendrich, beloved husband, father, brother and grandfather, passed away on March 15, 2024 in Austin, Texas. He was born in San Diego, California, son of Manning and Grace (Davidow) Fendrich, and raised in Los Angeles.

Harry’s life was marked by numerous achievements and successes. After graduating valedictorian from UCLA Business School, he embarked on a successful career that spanned over three decades as an executive with W. R. Grace, then as President and CEO of Homco International in Houston, Texas. His leadership skills, business acumen and integrity were admired by all who had the privilege of working alongside him.

Later in his career, Harry ventured into entrepreneurship by running a home health care company in Charleston, South Carolina alongside his devoted wife Nancy. Together, they poured their hearts into providing compassionate care for those in need.

After moving to Austin, Harry found joy and fulfillment spending time with his family, friends and beloved yellow Labrador Retrievers Annie and Buck.

One of Harry’s proudest accomplishments was creating a company with his son Adam. Their shared passion brought them closer together while leaving behind a legacy that will endure for many years.

Harry treasured the time he spent with his family. He is survived by Nancy - his loving wife of 54 years - along with their children and spouses- daughter Catherine and husband Chad, son Adam and wife Alex, son Manning and wife Lawren, and beloved granddaughter Caroline.
