In his spare time, Harry enjoyed fishing, especially ice fishing with his youngest son, spending time with the fishermen on the bank of the River, and playing Euchre with his family. He also enjoyed riding his "Scooter" all over town and to Potato Creek State Park while wearing his famous leather vest. He and his friend Jack would also row out into the River and hunt golf balls that would find their way off the course.
