Harry Pearson Obituary

Harry Pearson, age 82, beloved husband of Marion Pearson, nee Keppler; loving father of Stephen (Kathy) Pearson, Timothy (Gail) Pearson and James (Karyn) Pearson; cherished grandfather of Jaime, Daniel, Jennifer, David, Kevin, Amanda, Nicole, A.J., Kyle and Jessica; great grandfather of Cody and Riley. Harry was a trusted employee for 41 years with Johnson & Johnson. When they closed the operation in Chicago, he stayed an additional four years to sell the buildings and large sites. He worked until he was 69, the last employee in Chicago. Harry felt J & J was one of the best run companies in the USA. He knew the CEO's plus all of the workers in the plant. Everyone who knew Harry knows that he was fun to be with and also full of energy. If anyone asked him how he felt about the many years he was given, he would readily say that he was "happy and lucky to have such a great life!" Visitation was Monday, February 22nd, 3:00pm to 8:00pm. Funeral was Tuesday, February 23rd, 10:00am at Adams-Winterfield & Sullivan Funeral Home, 4343 Main Street (1 blk. So. of Ogden Ave.) Downers Grove. Interment Chapel Hill Gardens West. 630-968-1000 or www.adamswinterfieldsullivan.com

Harry Pearson was a true gentleman, avid golfer, loving husband, great family man and faithful Christian. I am proud to have been in his companionship on some great golf courses in the Western suburbs. God biess his dear Marion and family as they mourn his loss.
