Harry was a kind and caring protector of his friends and family. He had a wicked sense of humor and never met a stranger. He was always ready to help anyone in need. He loved passing out candy everywhere he went and was known as the "Candyman". He was a patriot and a proud veteran of the United States Navy. He retired from the Cobb County Board of Assessors. He was a member of Mount Calvary Baptist Church for more than 30 years and served as the sound man for all of that time. He was presently a member of Mercy Hill Church where he is known as the "Candy Cowboy".
