Henry Lee Harrison, Jr. departed this life on Sunday, October 4, 2020 after a lengthy illness. Henry, Jr. was born on Saturday, January 5, 1957 in Ypsilanti, Michigan to the late Henry Lee and Helen Louise Harrison. Henry, Jr. was the oldest of two sons born to this union.  To most people who knew him, Henry, Jr., was “Hank”, but more affectionately “Skipper” to his family.

The family moved from Michigan to Minnesota, and eventually returned to Inkster, MI where he was raised. He received his formal education from the Inkster Public Schools System where he graduated in 1975.  He also attended Hallmark School of Business.

Hank was employed as a Security Guard Supervisor at Guardian Armored Services in Highland Park, MI.; he drove for Ellis Tours and Charters Inc. out of Livonia, MI; a Customer Support and Shift Supervisor at Exemplar Manufacturing in Ypsilanti, MI.  “Hank” retired as a Customer Service Supervisor from Harada Industry of America of Novi in 2006.

Hank deemed the most important task he ever had was becoming the caregiver for his father until his passing in 2011.

Hank enjoyed telling jokes, watching movies, listening to jazz, rhythm & blues, and old school music.  He had a big heart and was always eager to help others.  His home was a place of refuge for many.  Hank was well loved by friends and family.  He will be surely “missed”.

He leaves to mourn, one brother, Walter “Wally” (Jennifer) Harrison of Detroit, MI., and a host of cousins, and friends.
