Born in New York City, he came to Princeton from Choate School. At Princeton, he majored in English and ate at Cloister Inn, where he chaired the bicker committee. His roommates were David Freeman and Hugh Latham.

After a short stint on the New York Stock Exchange, Harry served in the Army Air Corps during World War II and earned his wings in 1943. Fluent in French, he spent the war training French cadets and was ultimately decorated by President Charles de Gaulle.

Following the war, Harry made an abrupt life change and became a farmer in Lake Geneva after studying agriculture at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, and there he spent the rest of his life. For 50 years he was a board member of the Burroughs and Chapin Co., a family real-estate enterprise in Myrtle Beach, S.C. He was a world traveler, philanthropist, lover of the arts, and active volunteer who served on many nonprofit boards.

Harry never married. He is survived by his siblings, Margaret Carrasco, Gail Haggard, Daryl Hartshorne, and Dan Hartshorne; and 18 nieces and nephews, including Thomas Hartshorne ’76.
