Harry was ordained in the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in 1960. He served churches in Kentucky and Tennessee. Later, he worked in business with Shoney's Big Boy and PYA MONARCH. He was ordained in the Presbyterian Church (USA) in 1985, where he served churches in Denmark and Bamberg, SC, Grundy, VA and Warner Robins, GA. After retirement, he served five years as a Parish Associate at the James Island Presbyterian Church (USA). Harry also preached in many churches in the Charleston-Atlantic Presbyterian. He especially enjoyed his time at St. Paul's Presbyterian Church (USA) in Hollywood, SC. The highlight of his preaching career was two pastoral exchanges in Scotland in 1991 and 1998. Two of the joys of his life were coaching, umpiring and reffing at the James Island YMCA, reading to the daycare kids, and having childrens' church with them. Harry was a devoted fan of Kentucky Wildcats, Atlanta Braves, Boston Red Sox, and Carolina Hurricanes.
