For 30 years, they enjoyed their townhouse in Keystone, Colorado, with family and friends, and for the last 23 years they kept their social calendar filled in Mesa, Arizona, during the winter. Harry's hobbies were skiing, golf, bowling, bridge, and everything outdoors. When the fish were biting, Harry was found at the crack of dawn on a pond, and he was also an avid hunter.

He was a registered antique dealer, and restored and refinished countless pieces of antique furniture. One of his favorite places to visit was Shipshewana Antique Auction.
