Harry was born Nov. 1,1935 and passed peacefully Sept. 5, 2017 after a very short battle with cancer.
An Army veteran of the Korean War, Harry was raised on Kelly Hill (Kettle Falls, WA) and graduated from Marcus High School.
Harry married Rose McNinch and raised three children, Debbie, Larry and Ed. He spent many years helping and coaching youth sports, Little league, Babe Ruth baseball and AAU basketball.
Harry was always a very hard worker spending the majority of his life logging and in his "spare" time he was farming.
Harry shared the last 30 years of his life in Ione, WA with Barbara Smith. He loved his roses and his garden. He was known to grow the best garlic around.
Harry is survived by his children, Debbie (John); Larry (Leti); Ed (Shelly); and four beautiful grand-daughters, Brittany, Haley, Katrina and Breeanna. Barb's children, Cindy, Billy and David and their families; brothers, Tom and Jack; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Harry's stubbornness, orneriness and sense of humor will be greatly missed.
At his request, "I don't want any of that funeral stuff, just put a bottle on the bar from me." One of Harry's favorite nights was the dinners on Monday and Friday at the Metaline Falls American Legion, so to honor his wishes we will meet on Friday, Sept. 29 at the Metaline Falls American Legion Post #144 for their Friday night dinner. Doors open at 4 p.m. and dinner starts at 5:30 p.m.
