Evans; grandfather of Brian M. Perry, Jr., Connor M. Perry, Quinn P. Perry, and Alanna K. Perry; brother-in-law of Dolores Harris. Harry is also survived by many cousins, nieces, and nephews.
Harry was born on July 6, 1928 at 1462 N. Newkirk St, also the location of Bonnet’s Bakery. He attended John Sartain Elementary, Robert Vaux Jr. High, and Dobbins Vocational Technical School graduating in June 1946. He also attended Temple University Technical Institute, graduating in June 1955.
Harry served in the United States Army Corps of Engineers with the 66th Engineer Topographic Company in Stuttgart, Germany from March 20, 1951 until his honorable discharge as a Corporal on March 6, 1953. He played baseball with the 7th Corps team, Jayhawks, in 1952 and received an Army of Occupation (Germany) medal.
Harry was a member of Columbia Turn Verein, Barracuda Fishing Club, Brewerytown Fairmount Sports All-Timers, and Undine Barge Club. He played baseball and bowled with The Columbia Turners, baseball and football with The Brewerytown A.C., and golfed in many leagues Including the United Engineers League.
He worked at United Engineers and Constructors of Philadelphia in Pipe Support Engineering, Technical Manpower, as well as Staffing & Development, retiring in October of 1991 after 43 years with the company.

Growing up Harry had many cousins and friends that were like brothers and sisters to him. He was an avid Philadelphia sports fan, storyteller, and the family historian. He enjoyed golf outings and trips with his friends and coworkers to many golf courses on the east coast. Although he was involved in many activities what was most important to him was his family. Harry loved spending time on the back patio and pool with them as well as cheering his daughters on at swim meets, softball games, and band competitions. When he lost his beautiful bride in 2013 he took over the care of his daughter Linda and was her staunch advocate and steadfast caregiver. Harry and his wife Anne, together, left this world a better place with their love of family and friends, generosity, and unconditional love.
