Harry and Lee moved to Newnan GA in March 1966 upon completion of their home in Lakehills on Magnolia Drive. It was of course only half a mile to the Newnan Country Club where Harry’s passion for golf was met weekly until age 88.
Harry was very active in the Fellowship of Christian Airline Personnel (FCAP), and was very involved with Christian Financial Concepts. He founded Grace Ministries, and was a founding member of Grace Community Fellowship. Flying and golf paled in comparison to his passion for following Christ and seeking His will in all decisions of life. That was a way of living he desired to share with his family, friends and all he met. God through salvation in Christ, indwelling the believer and leading their life to all fullness, joy and peace; with eternity in heaven with the Lord to follow this life on earth.
