On July 21, 2019 the world lost an unassuming but remarkable father, uncle, friend, and gentleman.

He joined the Army in September of 1944. His basic training was at Camp Hood in Texas.He was assigned to the 442nd Regimental Combat Team and was sent to Italy in the spring of 1945.

Following WWII, he attended the National Radio School in Cleveland, Ohio from October of 1946 until June of 1947. Harry was employed at Hill Air Force Base from 1948 through 1976 working as an Aero Camera Repair and Equipment Specialist. He then worked at Iomega Corp. from 1977 to 2000 as a technician before retiring.

Harry married Clara Iwamoto on May 15, 1954 in Ogden, Utah. Clara passed away in 2006 due to kidney failure. During her 4 plus years on dialysis, Harry never wavered in his loving care for her during that difficult time in her life.

Harry was a faithful member of the Ogden Japanese Christian Church for 65 years. He was the pledge treasurer for many years up until his passing. He will be missed by his church family.

At various stages in his life, Harry enjoyed snow skiing, golfing, fishing, camping and gardening. He made numerous friends while walking the mall which he did almost daily. Harry is survived by his son Kent (Rebecca), grand stepson and many nephews and nieces. He was preceded in death by his parents, brothers, Ernie, Duzo, and Ray; and sister, Amy McDaniel.

His passing has left a tremendous void in all our hearts.
