In December 1971, Karel Huibers, a nineteen year old Dutch tree nurseryman found the remains of two paratroopers in an unmarked grave in his tree nursery. The Dutch authorities were notified and the U S Army sent a team from Germany to Holland to recover and escort the remains to the United States Army Mortuary in Frankfurt, Germany for identification and processing. His remains were identified by his dog tags and by one of his boots and other physical and dental characteristics. The military sent an officer to visit with his wife Melba and his brother Bernard. Both agreed independently that his remains should be brought home. Bernard called Harry's son Rodney in Utah to inform him of the discovery of his father's remains. Bernard asked Rodney if he had told his Aunt Angeline, Harry's sister, just the previous month about the dream. Then told him that his Daddy had been found. It had been almost 28 years of waiting. Harry's remains were escorted home and his memorial service was performed with only members of the family taking part. His funeral was held May 8, 1972 in Thatcher, Arizona.
