Harry was a very private man and did not like to leave home. He would not take vacations and did not like to travel. He was completely content at home caring for his dogs, taking care of the yard or his wife. He loved his family deeply. He was a man of few words, and when he said anything you could believe in what he said.
He was preceded in death by his parents and a sister Margaret Hamilton.
He is survived by his wife Glenda; children, daughters Darnell Marsh and husband Ron of Pritchett, Yvonne Roberson and husband Kenny of Lorena, and son Rick Hamilton and wife Lisa of Lorena; seven grandchildren, Crystal Bell and husband Matt, Kayla Roberson, Heather Matthews and husband JT, Heath Marsh, Dayna Hamilton, Dalton Hamilton, and Samuel Hamilton.

He will be greatly missed by his family.
