He was raised in the Lorella Full Gos- pel Church in the Langell Valley in Oregon. Harry enjoyed sports, espe- cially watching his girls, grandkids, great-grandkids and nephew Rocky Steagall, as well as the kids he helped in the rodeos and their activities. He also enjoyed herding cattle, ﬁ sh- ing, hunting and playing a little golf with family. Harry played the guitar, sang old cowboy songs and gospel hymns and enjoyed the jam sessions with family and friends. Assisted liv- ing folks loved his music. He also was quite a dancer. He loved to beat any- one who would play cards or pool with him. Harry looked forward to visiting friends and reminiscing with good humor. Later in life the telephone became his friend for communicating.
