Lovingly remembered and sadly missed by his loving family.

“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, ‘Wow! What a ride!’”

Have you considered?

To our lifelong friend.
Together we shared the happiest times and carried each other through the hardest times. Alan and Millar Adair. Tuesday 08 September 2026
Harry was one of a kind. He would always stop and have a yarn and there was some craic out of him. He will be much missed in parkrun and beyond. He would do anything for anyone. Torie Tennant, Ecos Parkrun, Northern Ireland Tuesday 08 September 2026
In memory of our amazing friend, Harry, who brought so much energy, warmth, and laughter to the North Coast Social & Walking group from the moment he and his umbrella joined us four years ago. We have walked countless miles by his side, shared endless laughs, and will always cherish the memories of him happily flipping burgers at our beach barbecues, chatting away about absolute nonsense.
Harry was a truly kind, caring, and considerate friend who lived life at 100 miles an hour. Taken from us far too soon. He has left a massive void in our hearts and our walking boots and will be deeply missed by so many of us. Kathy, members of the North Coast Walking & Social Group and other associated friends Monday 07 September 2026
Harry was a colleague and a good friend. Glad to have worked with him in the Voluntary and Community Unit (DSD) and on the allotments in Broughshane. A good man
Dave Wall Monday 07 September 2026
