Harold Paul Wasinger, age 80, went to be with our Lord on Monday, December 8, 2014. He was born September 29, 1934, in Ellis, Kansas, to Dr. Joseph P. Wasinger and Mathilda (Niernberger) Wasinger.
He spent most of his childhood in rural Hays, Kansas, where he grew into the steadfast and humble man his family knew and loved. Harry had always been a leader. At 17, he graduated from St. Joseph's Military Academy with rank of captain in 1952. He served in the U.S. Army from 1954 to 1956, during which time he spent 16 months at Ladd Air Force Base near Fairbanks, Alaska.
Upon completing his service, he met Deloris Jean Ziegler, and the two were married on October 12, 1957, in Grainfield, Kansas.
He attended Kansas State University and graduated in 1960 with a B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering. He later received his Masters in Electrical Engineering from USC in 1967. His career in aerospace engineering included positions with Northrop, Douglas, McDonnell Douglas, and the Federal Aviation Administration. He retired in 2004 and enjoyed spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren, and he loved reading. He will be greatly missed by everyone he knew and loved.
He is survived by his wife, Deloris "Dee" Wasinger; three daughters and sons-in-law, Brenda and Ken Hammerton, Cindy and Gary Peck, Pamela and Tracy Taylor; eight grandchildren, Jessica Sawyer and husband David, Andrea Lockley and husband Andy, Lindsey Gage and husband Adam, Jacquelyn Hammerton, Melissa Peck, Allison Taylor, Justin Taylor, and David Hammerton; five great granddaughters, Cadence and Aria Sawyer, Lydia Lockley, Brielle and Amelia Gage; three sisters, Patricia McKinley, Cheryl Haas, Sister Mary Terence; and two brothers, Jack and Bill Wasinger, as well as many beloved nieces and nephews.
