Harry M. Thatcher's Obituary
On Friday, December 11th, 2020 Harry Thatcher, loving husband and father passed away at the age of 84. Harry was born on February 15, 1936 in Kokomo, Indiana. He graduated from Lagro High School in 1955 and shortly after joined the Air Force, which he served in for 39 years. He met the love of his life Mary-Lou and they shared 63 years of marriage together. They raised one daughter, Kim.
He had a passion for gardening. There was nothing he could not grow in his backyard. He also knew his way around the kitchen and his only rival for best cook was his wife. He loved country music and watching basketball. He was a champion for his daughter and granddaughter, teaching them to be hard-working and independent. He traveled the world, but there was nowhere he loved more than being home with his family.
He is survived by his wife Mary-Lou, his sisters Carolyn and Sonja, his daughter Kim, his son-in-law Dale, granddaughter Whitney, and great granddaughter Taylor.
