Harry A. Serr was born on January 13, 1942, to Adolph and Lily Serr in Bismarck, ND. Harry grew up in Linton, ND and graduated from Linton High School. His favorite high school memories to share were those of his track accomplishments. After high school, he worked at the Standard Gas Station off and on. In 1963, he joined the National Guard for a six-year term. While attending basic training at Fort Leonard Wood, he learned that Elvis Presley was housed two barracks away from him. In 1965, he started driving school bus and continued doing so for 14 years. In 1966, just after the blizzard, he met the love of his life, Fran, on a blind date arranged by friends. On October 21, 1967, they were married in Herreid, SD. They made their home in Linton, ND, where they raised their three children: Tamara, Ray, and Dawn.

Harry was a member of American Legion Post 54, the Emmons County Wildlife Club, and the Beaver Valley Snow Goers Club. He enjoyed bowling, shooting pool, playing cards, throwing darts and horseshoes. His favorite beverages were a good cold Old Milwaukee or a Diet Coke.
