Albert Lyter included Harry in his antidotes about growing up in Halifax and being a part of the town's musicians where Harry was known as a talented "trumpet player". Harry was a navy veteran of WWII, and a retired IRS tax auditor who worked in Harrisburg. Albert Lyter notes that William was a "band director" for the local Halifax musicians.
He was very handy in his basement tool shop, and made and assembled, for example, several grandfather clocks for his wife's two sisters, Helen and Alma.
Harry had Parkinson's disease and was diabetic. He died of a massive heart attack. This information was furnished by his widow, Gladys Jury. He is buried in the Halifax Methodist Cemetery in Halifax.
According to his widow Gladys, soon after the couple were married and at the time residing in Baltimore, Harry was laid off from his work with the Western Maryland Railroad in Baltimore, and he and Gladys were forced to move back to Halifax. Out of economical necessity they returned to live with Harry's parents on Armstrong Street in Halifax. This is also where the couple's first and only child,Patricia was born only several months earlier. It was this house that Harry and Gladys would occupy for the rest of their married life.
