Currently his wife Minda still lives in there home in Maryland while there children had grown up and spread out across the U.S. There two oldest daughters live in Florida, the oldest married with a girl and a boy, Harry was fortunate enough to meet his granddaughter. The youngest daughter currently resides in California working on becoming an artist. The youngest of his 4 siblings, and only son, had also joined the United States Navy as an Air Crewman and graduating the school for being an In-Flight Technician.
Harry was a great man and it was hard for his family to let him go, but like one of Haryy's followers said, "It's a sad day for the V8 Ranger community. Harry's knowledge and help will be sorely missed, but it seems the good Lord needs help troubleshooting his V8 ranger. At least he picked the best man for the job!".
