Harry Roger Tinnell, 77, passed away on Aug. 2, 2019, at Good Samaritan Society Village, Grand Island, with family by his side.
Harry was born in Seward on Sept. 7, 1941, to Clair and Thelma (Ridenour) Tinnell.
Harry's first school years were in Western Nebraska. His family moved to Iowa in 1949. He attended Grand River High School in Grand River, Iowa, and graduated in 1959.
At the age of 12 years, he yielded his life to the Lord. This was a lifelong commitment that meant everything to him.
On Oct. 18, 1963, he was united in marriage to Janiece Vlieger. They had 42 wonderful years together. Janiece passed away from cancer on Feb. 24, 2006. To this union, four children were born, Jeffrey, Janette, Jerrold and James.
Harry was raised in Iowa, but left there after high school.
He worked various jobs in his life. The last 22 years of his working life before retiring were spent operating Interclean of Grand Island. He made many wonderful friends during this endeavor who still miss his carpet cleaning skills and expertise.

They lived in Ogallala until both of their health failed. Then they moved to Grand Island to the Good Samaritan Village.
