Obituary
Harry C. Eng passed away peacefully on March 9, 2012 at the age of 88 after a long illness.
Harry grew up in Seattle, where he attended Bailey Gatzert Elementary and Franklin High School. After graduation, Harry completed his Machinist’s apprenticeship at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, followed by a 37 year career with The Boeing Company where he worked first as a Machinist, and then later in Finance as a Price Analyst.
Harry was known for his love of golf, and as a founding member of the Cascade Golf Club, he played in tournaments up and down the west coast including such courses as Pebble Beach and Riviera Country Club.
Harry met his wife Patricia (Pat) in 1962 while she and her sister Sylvia visited the Seattle World’s Fair. Harry offered to be their tour guide and they’ve been together ever since.
After retirement, Harry and Pat enjoyed traveling to destinations both near and far. Not only did they go on family vacations to Disneyland and Hawaii, but they traveled the world to see Hong Kong, Singapore, mainland China, New Zealand, Australia, and the Caribbean.
Harry was preceded in death by his parents and siblings June and Wayne. He is survived by his wife Pat, sons Jonathan (Nora) and Steven (Ann) and four grandchildren: Harrison, Natalie, Gavin and Jeffrey. He is also survived by his brother Bill (Alpha) and many nieces and nephews.

To the Family of Harry.

St. Peter was my Church when I grew up on Beacon Hill.
My prayers are with his Family.
