Harry F. Warner, 93, of Fremont, Ohio passed away on August 3, 2022. He was born on Dec 6, 1928 in Johnstown, PA. to Harry W. and Cecelia (Stepniak) Warner. Harry was a 1946 graduate of Gibsonburg High School. Shortly after High School he became involved in the propane gas business. In the 1960’s Harry started Warner’s Propane Gas Co. and later was employed by Phillips Propane Gas Company of Toledo. In the 90’s he retired as the owner/operator of Warner’s Water Hauling of Oak Harbor.
On January 28, 1950 Harry married Mary Hofelich at Clyde St. Marys Church. They were married over 67 years before Mary’s passing in 2017. Harry and Mary were able to travel and see a lot of the country and he would tell you that he was always thankful for the many experiences they shared together.
Harry was very fond of his dogs, and always made sure he had man’s best friend by his side. He also loved boating and had owned numerous boats over the years, with his favorite being the classic wooden Lymans.
Harry was a family man and someone you could always count on. If you were Harry’s neighbor you probably considered yourself pretty lucky. Harry also was a very meticulous man with a lot of fortitude. If he made up his mind to do something, look out, because somehow it was going to happen. Over his lifetime Harry took a lot of pride in keeping his businesses and homes in excellent order. After moving to Assisted Living he continued to recite his favorite phrase “I’ve got to get things shaped up.”
Left to cherish his memory are son Michael (Mary Lou) Warner, daughter Pamela (Scott) Smith, granddaughter Kelly Warner (Andrew Kleinhans), great granddaughter Addison Kleinhans, nieces Cathy Cole-Connors, Kimberly Bilger and nephew Ronald Sting.
Harry was preceded in death by wife Mary, son Robert Warner, and sister, Patricia Sting.
The family would like to thank the staff at Valley View Assisted Living for the compassionate care they provided Harry.
A private service and interment will take place at Greenlawn Memory Gardens.
Memorials may be made to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital https://www.stjude.org/or the donor’s choice.

We care and share your loss. One of the last in that generation of First cousins, Marian, Harry, Pat, Don. Always remember our reunions on the farm in Clyde in the 1960’s. I think it was Pat and Ron’s house. It was special when Aunt Marie came from California, we all got together then.
May the love of family and friends bring you comfort in this time of loss. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. Nancy and Bob Parker

Living in NC and having known Scott and Pam for a number of years, I only was privileged to meet Harry 5-6 years ago. Even then, COVID conspired to keep us from seeing one another as we might otherwise have been able to. I took an instant liking to Harry maybe part of it having to do with the bond we shared with both of us having lost wives in 2017. He was warm, kind and a very interesting man to talk to and I always looked forward to visiting him when I was in Ohio to see Scott and Pam. My deepest sympathies go out to Mike, MaryLou, Scott, and Pam in the loss of this dear, dear man. He will be missed
