Harry was born in Yerington, NV March 23, 1964, to Bobby Ray and Vallie Delphine (Komrosky) Simmons. At 3 months old his family of 8 moved to Minnesota. He attended St. Francis Schools. In 1978, they moved to Arizona where he completed his education. In 1990, his parents moved to Oriska, ND and Harry soon followed.

While living in Oriska he was employed at Tower City Truck Stop. He met and fell in love with Michelle Lorraine Stuart. They relocated to Valley City in 1995. In 2026, he started working for Petro in Valley City. He loved Valley City, more importantly he enjoyed serving all the people he met in the 20 years he was employed there.

Harry loved fishing and cherished the moments spent with his brother, Rick, and friends. He also loved his motorcycle, collecting treasures and never threw away any gifts he received. To say he was a collector is an understatement! He will be missed by family, friends and acquaintances.
