HARRY P. TEXTER, 93, of Parker passed away Sunday evening (07-17-16) at Clarview Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Sligo following a brief period of declining health. The VNA of Butler and of Clarion-Forest had been working closely with Harry and family these past few weeks. Born in West Freedom, Clarion Co. on July 4, 1923, he was the son of the late Aron and Margaret Pollum Texter. He was a member of the First United Methodist Church of Parker. Harry attended Parker Area Schools, and then joined the U.S. Air Force where he served mostly in the south Pacific during World War II. He was employed at Kopper’s Chemical Corp. (now Indespec) at Petrolia, Pa. for over thirty six years.  He retired as a specialty foreman at the refinery. Harry was a true sports fan watching as many games of all types as possible on TV. He was married to the former Verda Gray on Feb. 11, 1949 in Petrolia, and she survives.  He is also survived by sons Patrick and Michael as well as five grandsons, two grandaughters, and nine great grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a brother and two sisters. Friends may call from 1:00 to 3:00 PM Thursday at H. Jack Buzard Funeral Home, 201 So. Wayne Ave., Parker, where funeral services will be conducted at 3:00 PM.  Private burial will follow at Bear Creek Cemetery in Petrolia. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorials to the First United Methodist Church, PO Box 21, Parker, Pa.  16049.
