Harry was married to Evelyn Foster on March 7, 1948; they were married for 69 years. Harry worked as a lab tech at Celanese Corp for 20 years. He was a loyal and friendly fellow and a believer of God. He had a passion for reading books, a thirst for knowledge and a hobby of gardening. Harry loved all different typed of people and believed each and every single person was interesting; he could strike up a conversation with a complete stranger and have a new friend at the end of the day.

Harry will be shining down on his wife Evelyn Gradick; his three children, Deborah Lodge, David Gradick, Laura Reed and her husband, Ron Reed Sr.; sister, Gloria Williams; his four grandchildren, Quincy Lodge, Ron Reed Jr., Matthew Lodge, and Joy Reed; and his three great grandchildren, Kyhrie Middleton, Layloni Lodge, and Landon Reed.
