DELPHI — Harry Lee Myers, 75, Lafayette, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, Nov. 30, 2017, at his home.
He was born May 14, 1942, in Kosciusko County, to the late Claude V. and Jane E. Prescott Myers. He married Joyce I. Eiler in Palestine on Sept. 3, 1961, and she preceded him in death April 14, 2015.
Harry spent much of his life working on farms. He met Joyce while working for her father and eventually married the boss's daughter. He and Joyce purchased their own egg farm, and ran that for several years before Harry went to work in Elkhart for Bullard Farms. In 1976, he relocated his family to Rensselaer and worked for Fairview Egg Farm.
Eventually, he and his wife moved to Lafayette, and Harry went to work for the Indiana Veterans Home as a member of the custodial staff. During his time there, he realized that he enjoyed washing windows, and in January 1991 he started his own business, M&M Window Washing, through which he washed business windows in the Lafayette and surrounding communities until his death.
Harry attended Wea Ridge Baptist Church, Lafayette, and thoroughly enjoyed the fellowship and would often mention his love of their inclusion of old hymns in their services — he and his wife loved those songs over the years.
Surviving are a daughter, Angie Teel (Jeff), Brookston; a son, Russell (Jaci), Lafayette; and his very special granddaughter, Emily Myers. Also surviving are five sisters and three brothers, who all reside in Northern Indiana.
He was preceded in death by twin grandsons, Adam Lee and Bruce Edward Myers.
Visitation will be from 4 to 7 p.m. Friday at Wea Ridge Baptist Church, 1051 E. 430 S., Lafayette. The funeral service will be there at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, with Pastor Dan Sager officiating.
Interment will be at Chalmers Community Cemetery.
Abbott Funeral Home Inc., Delphi, is in charge of arrangements.
