Harry was not only a hard worker but also a wise steward of his finances. He tracked every penny and taught his family the value of money. He was a meticulous man who took pride in cooking his own meals – and his favorites included neckbones, rice, cabbage, sweet potatoes, bacon, and shrimp, but he had a soft spot for weekly fish and grits from Washington Shores. He never passed on an opportunity to work in his yard and tend to his fruit trees.
When the family moved to Orlando, Rev. Heyward became a faithful member of
Mt. Sinai Missionary Baptist Church under Rev. Roscoe Wade, serving there with love and dedication for over 43 years. He loved his church family, and his earthly family, and the time he spent with both of them was second to none.
