Harry, loved to read his bible, and loved the Lord Jesus Christ. His favorite scripture was 1 Peter 5:6 which says, "So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time He will lift you up in honor."

He loved to hike, especially in Zion National Park. He and his grandson, Samuel would go camping regularly. Harry also spent his days golfing, playing poker, chess, playing the guitar, singing, traveling, and hanging out with his grandchildren, family and friends. Mexican food was his favorite, it was a tradition to go to Viva Mercados on his birthday pretty much every year with his daughter Mary since their birthday was only 2 days apart. In his spare time you could also find Harry telling old stories of his adventures flying, traveling, and serving in the army. Watching old westerns, and football was another pastime he enjoyed.
