Harry Edward Varnadore left this earthly world, peacefully surrounded by family. Harry was a towering figure of kindness who will be fondly remembered. During his later years he had a few setbacks compounded by heart issues. We rest assured that he is no longer in pain and enjoying paradise with momma, his parents and siblings.

Harry was born and raised in Fort Mill, SC. He married Lexie Smith Varnadore in 1956 and joined the United States Air Force with his brother Tom on the Buddy system, serving from 1957-1961. He and Lexie had Four children. Harry worked in the IT field he studied to become a computer analyst/programmer working for many years with Empire of Carolina. Harry later became a contract computer analyst which allowed him to work with such companies as BCBS, Centura Bank, and others. He held great pride in his career.

Harry was a caring man that would give the shirt off his back if it was needed. He was always ready to share his wisdom and a story to share with anyone that would listen. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. In his later years he enjoyed gardening, attempted to make wine, enjoyed riding the blue ridge parkway on his motorcycle, visiting his sisters Amelia, Mary and brothers Mack and Tom when he could. He stayed active helping with his sons when he was able.

Harry will be greatly missed and lovingly remembered.
