Harry was a master plumber and owned his own business for years before becoming the chief plumbing inspector for the village of Palatine Illinois, until his retirement. Harry and his wife Tina spent many years at their summer home in the Wisconsin Dells area. They enjoyed their time fishing and going to the casino. Harry would enjoy telling you his many stories of his wins & losses, and of all the fish that got away. Harry was also a huge Chicago Bears fan and did several plumbing jobs for several of the players and actually became a good friend of former Bears player, Ed O'Bradovich. Harry had a personality that was larger than life and could embellish any story from his past that you would hang on every word to listen to. He was a character. Harry will be sadly missed by all the friends and family who treasured their time with him.

He is survived by his daughters, Laura Link and Linda Lemm; his grandson, Christopher Link; as well as his many loving friends.

Harry was predeceased by his wife, Christina M. “Tina” Lemm; son, Michael A. Lemm.
