Born in Erie, PA; raised in Hanover, NH ( class of 1967).

He leaves behind his wife of 32 years, Gisela Riess Ashley, his daughters Monika Riess Ashley (fiancée Johnny Lancaster) of Dover NH and Andrea Riess Kennedy (Randy) of Delray Beach FL, as well as his beloved dogs Wolfgang and Puck.

Harry was a talented craftsman, honing his skills at the boat  building school in Bath Maine. His carved half hull models are treasured by his family and friends . Harry's career began working in the family businesses at the Ashley House  Ski Area in Hanover Center and the Rapid River Camps in Errol, NH. Working with his father he honed a variety of skills that included tinkering with the rope tow, canoeing the rapids and teaching skiing (including at Waterville Valley Ski area) and wilderness skills. This set the foundation for a successful career as the owner of his own residential and commercial construction company.

He loved racing sailboats in the Abacos with his group of dear friends, and Harry would tell all to travel to the Abacos, Bahamas for their vacation to help them rebuild their island!
