as heavy equipment operators all around the United States,
including Alaska and Hawaii. Harry also worked in Saudi
Arabia, Australia, and Guam.
He was blessed with grandchildren: Jon, David, and
• Edward Patton, and Sierra Galloway: great grandchildren,

¿the monuments around the city.
'*
He enjoyed playing music, hunting and fishing, and had
1 many hobbies, including running his hunting dogs, knapping
¿stone arrowheads, and gardening. Even late into his 90s,

- -and tended his backyard chickens.
Harry was a fierce soldier, committed husband, loving

and marksman. Last year at age 98, he shot his final elk, and
was hoping to get a tag for a buffalo this year. Harry enjoyed
' hunting and fishing with his friends, Todd Calloway, Al
-McMillen, and Byron Henry.
His boyhood friends from Pennsylvania remember tales
' of Harry providing deer meat for families during the Great
’ Depression and of having the pleasure of working with him
' on various pipelines. He claimed that Pennsylvania and
Oregon were the prettiest states in the Union, but stayed in
’’ Oregon for the wider range of hunting and fishing.
~ His twinkling eyes, great storytelling, and his love will be
• greatly missed. "Remember," he would say, "to never let
anyone get you down." He lived life with a smile onhis See.

discussing weather phenomenon. She often said if she had
life to do over again, she would be a meteorologist.
