Harry Fatt, 72, lovingly known to family as Grampy, Hank, or Hankie Poo, gained his wings on March 15, 2020. He was the oldest of three brothers, and was completely in love with his wife of almost 48 years, Cheryl.
Harry was a devoted fireman of Vails Gate Fire Company, wearing many hats including president. The family will forever hold dear to their hearts the memories of all the family vacations to Cape May, Wildwood, NJ, Florida, Vermont, Connecticut, Boston, MA, and his most favorite of all, Graceland in Memphis, TN. Harry loved all things Elvis Presley.
Survivors include his loving wife, Cheryl; his son, Michael Fatt and his wife Hope of Newburgh; and his grandchildren: Kayla Anne, Emma Rose, Allison Jade, and Aiden Robert Fatt, all of Newburgh. He was predeceased by his parents, Aaron and Evelyn (Canty) Fatt, and his brothers, Dennis and William “Bill” Fatt.
