Harry was a very involved member of First Baptist Church of Everett for many years. Harry was a deacon, led the Boys Brigade scout group, and served as worship leader. He was an avid mountain climber, rock climbing instructor and longtime member of the Appalachian Mountain Club. He especially loved the White Mountains and considered them a second home.

He has seven grandchildren, Cheri (Alexei) Grishin, Amie (Nate) Hudak, David Goss, Heather Goss (Adam Silva), Bethany Goss, Jennifer Goss, and Graham Goss.
