Harry F. Flick, 81, died February 1, 2010 at Lancaster General Hospital.

Harry shared many stories growing up in Lancaster; from using his wagon to haul groceries for southern market customers to spotting possible World War II enemy planes in the Civil Air Patrol.

He was teased for having "no off button" for his energy and great zest for life. An outdoorsman, he lived in Pennsylvania but his hunter heart was in Wyoming. November, yea, hunting at Huber's camp in Perry County. Louis Lamour, his favorite author.

After serving in the Korean Conflict 1951-1952, he found work at Business Press and a wife Doris McQuigg at the church choir.

Wed in 1954 the family grew, with daughter Leeanne, and son Randall.

Bought a house in Manor Township and spent 43 years in "reconstruction" plus two porches and a "Civil War" room to house a growing collection. Our vacations were spent south of the Mason-Dixon Line visiting all the sites-even a walk in Richmond. Twenty years of Boy Scouting as a Webelos leader.

In 1980 Harry's sister Marian McMellen introduced us to a small church group of 40 Chartered members. We soon became 41 and 42 at Lancaster Evangelical Free Church in Lititz. He wore many hats; elder, shepherding team, visitation, men's prayer breakfast, Golden Bridges, 7:30 a.m. Sunday School, involvement with a Small Group for twenty years, and lastly his greatest joy-greeting at the door for 25 years (always with a cup of coffee-black). As a patriot, he held membership in VFW post 1463 in Lititz.

He was employed at Trojan Boat Company and retired from Alcoa Company in 1991.

His dearly loved family includes wife, Doris (Wed 55 years) daughter, Leeanne Flick Anspach wife of Stephen Anspach, son Randall F. Flick, husband of Kristy Flick and grandsons, Zachary F. Flick, Eric S. Flick, and Alex J. Flick and nieces and nephews.

Preceding him in death, Parents, Harry Flick and Carrie Flick, sisters Marian McMellen, Dorothy Miles and Margaret Brought.

This dear man held strong beliefs but was also a peacemaker. His spirit was gentle and he had great love and compassion for his fellow-man.

His deep love for his Heavenly Father never wavered.
