After marrying, they moved to California and made Danville their home for over five decades. They were long-time members of their local church, Trinity Lutheran Church. Their faith guided their values and shaped the way they lived.

Harry pursued various entrepreneurial ventures, while Barbara provided accounting services. They were active in the Volunteer in Police Services (VIPS), and together, they donated 14,000 hours of community service to the residents of Danville since 2000. They received several community awards including Town of Danville Volunteers of the Year, Volunteer of the Year Office of the Sheriff Contra Costa County, and Community Emergency Response Team Leader of the Year.
