In 1948 Harry married Sylvia and the couple had two children, John and Mark.

Harry also helped to establish the Waterloo Regional Police Department's photography department.During the course of his career he wrote a popular photography column for 25 years, and by the time of his retirement he was the Manager of the Photographic Department.
