missed by his grandchildren, of whom he was so proud, Richard, Elizabeth, Karen, Beth, Kathy, Sarah, and William; and his great-grandchildren, Michelle, Anthony, Taylor,
Gloria, and Abigail. He was predeceased by his parents; half-brother, Bill Lownds (Maura), and his uncle, Guy Wambolt, who was like a father to Harry. Cremation has taken
