With gratitude for a life well-lived, we celebrate the memory of Harry

Born on January 15, 1930, in Brooklyn, NY, to Harry and Irene Schwagerl,
Harry led a life dedicated to family, service, and community. After
graduating from Lehman High School, he proudly served in the United
States Navy Reserve before beginning a remarkable 40-year career at
Con Edison, where he rose from Lineman to Supervisor of Emergency Services for all of
Brooklyn.
Harry’s devotion to his faith and community was evident through his
lifelong involvement in St. Raymond’s Church, where he served as a
and a dedicated Cub Scout leader for Troop 332 for many years.
Above all, Harry was a loving husband, father, and grandfather. He was
married to the love of his life, Patricia Schwagerl, for 71 wonderful
years. Together, they built a beautiful family, raising their
children, John (Tedi) Schwagerl, Brian (Eileen) Schwagerl, Ann-Marie
Farrell, and Chrisanne (James) Hammill. He cherished his beloved
grandchildren: Caitlin Christopher (Schwagerl) Mary and Isabel
Schwagerl, Catherine and Joseph Farrell, Jr.

A mass celebrating Harry’s life will be held at St. Raymond’s Church
