Harry’s life was a life of adventure, joy and gratitude to God. He lived big and loved huge! He was a graduate of Ouachita Parish High School and Northeast Louisiana University, now ULM. A successful insurance agent for 50 years with a personality larger than life. Being raised by deaf parents, he learned early in life the true meaning of love, inclusiveness and understanding. Prayer was a vital part of his life. Harry had a tender heart toward people and animals. Always striving to be a peacemaker. With his gracious spirit, he always gave God glory for his life and God’s many blessings. He never failed to say, “how good God was to him and his family.” His continual words over the last week were “this is just wonderful, thank you, Lord” which reflected his positive attitude and courageous faith. He was a member of Covenant Presbyterian Church. Harry loved “a good time” with family and friends. Hunting camps, lakes and his home were among his favorite places, where he was always frying fish, barbequing or boiling crawfish to share with others. His enthusiasm for life was contagious. Harry and Kitty’s home was filled with love and always a welcoming spirit.

A man of many talents, Harry loved to entertain. A self-taught guitarist, he captured the stage and many audiences with his love of music. This included the famous Louisiana Hayride. He put his entire self into character roles he portrayed at the Little Theater musical productions. With his strong tenor voice, he sang with heartfelt meaning as he worshipped God in church and singing numerous solos through the years.

Harry was past president of the ULM Alumni Association, Little D’Arbonne Lake Corporation and Hogue Island Hunting Club. He served as a deacon and elder in the Presbyterian church. In the insurance business, his achievements included a member of the Million Dollar Round Table, recognized as a top producer of insurance companies he represented.

Kitty and Harry’s long lasting relationship was a beautiful love story, only God could create. Their hearts were joined together and they were truly devoted to each other. Their love began in the 5^th Grade as childhood sweethearts. Many happy times were spent traveling with friends. They traveled extensively in the United States and other countries abroad.

Harry loved and respected his son-in-law, Bobby. Their thoughts and ways were individualistic, but they shared a common bond. Bobby was his “special son”.  Among Harry’s most treasured memories were special times spent with his beloved grandson, Chad. They shared a mutual love for hunting, fishing and LSU football.  Serving his country proudly, Harry was honorably discharged from the Army at the rank of Captain along with an Administrative accommodation. Memorials may be made in Harry’s memory to Covenant Presbyterian Church or the Cancer Foundation League.

A full life – loving God and loving others.

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul and with all thy mind. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. To God be the Glory. Matthew 22: 37-38
