Richard "Dick" J. Harmon
June 12, 1933 ~ June 6, 2021

Dick was a graduate of Madison High School and served in the United States Army from 1953 to 1955 and then worked as a millwright for General Motors many years.
Dick was a member of Immaculate Conception Church and a long standing volunteer for many years with his wife Ann. He also volunteered as a fireman for Madison for many years. The most important thing to Dick was keeping close ties with family and friends. He hand made Christmas wreaths for all family graves every year during the Christmas season. He traveled to Connecticut as often as he could to be with family and attend his grandchildren's many athletic competitions including football, ice hockey, lacrosse and soft ball games. He often would provide some advise to the coaches whether they wanted it or not. Dick and Ann enjoyed baking chocolate chip cookies for the team and for the grandchildren’s sports teams and college friends. If he personally did not bring them, Dick sent them in the mail fed-ex to assure they would arrive fresh. He touched the lives of all who knew him.
He is survived by his grandson, Curry R. Harmon; granddaughter, Kennison A. Harmon; daughter-in-law, Stacy M. Harmon; and many beloved nieces, nephews and friends.
Dick was preceded in death by his beloved wife of over 50 years, Ann Harmon; his parents; beloved son, Richard C. Harmon, Esq. who passed away in February of 2021. Dick was also preceded in death by his siblings, Betty, Evelyn, Catherine, Jane, Joan, Jean, Jim and Doris.

Our condolences to the Harmon family. We were lucky to have had Dick in our lives for the past 12 years. We shared many holidays together, where he'd always bring us lots of his homemade fudge or vegetables from his garden. We have many fond memories of his sharing his home for our family, his family and friends' get togethers, where he always cooked for an army! He loved to show us his gardens and his beautiful flowers. He was very proud of his home and the lovely surroundings. We loved him as one of our own and will miss him dearly. The Revelt and Barnhart families.
A dear friend of ours who we will miss greatly. Fond memories of our time together as classmates and teammates on the 1950 Madison Football Championship season. You will be missed. Ron and Norma Quirk
My condolences to the Harmon family. As a Madison High School graduate of 1975, I attended high school with Dick’ son, and only learned today, in reading this obituary that he passed earlier this year. I am so very sorry for you family’s loss. Sadly, in February of this year, I lost my Mother Barbara (Powell) Tackett of Madison, just 6 days before her 88th birthday, too. God Bless them, May they Rest In Peace. Terri (Tackett) Wolcott

Dick was the best neighbor a person could ever want. He was so kind to my parents, John & Julie Lengyel, when they moved to Madison back in the late 1980's. He was so kind to me and my children. What a wonderful reunion they all had. To Curry and Kennison, you had his love every day of your lives. You brought him such joy. Our neighborhood will not be the same without him.
