“Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings.”

– John Magee

Left behind to mourn his passing is his loving wife of forty-seven years, Martha; sons, James Reardon (Carol), Eric Reardon, and Pierce Love; grandchildren, Thomas Reardon and Leah Reardon; a sister, Elsie Novak (Michael); a sister in law, Sally Deming Love; a brother in law, John Atkinson, and many nieces and nephews.

Harry was many people; devoted husband, loving father and grandpa, Williams College graduate, skilled orthopedic surgeon, avid golfer, enthusiastic equestrian, carpenter, wood worker, reader of history, builder of fences, and driver of tractors. Always quick with a joke or a kind word, he will be missed by us all. God speed, Harry, in your next adventure.
