Harry Raymond Ticknor Sr.'s Obituary
Racine - Harry Raymond Ticknor Sr., age 66, passed away peacefully on May 5, 2025.
Born in Racine on July 31, 1958, to the late Charles and Iris Ticknor, Harry was a dedicated and hardworking man who took great pride in everything he did. He devoted over 20 years of his career to Thermal Transfer and later worked more than 15 years at Beere Medical, where he was respected for his commitment and reliability.
Harry had a passion for life’s simple joys—boating on a quiet afternoon, building and fixing things with his hands, cheering on the Packers, and most of all, spending time with his beloved grandchildren. A fan of baseball and family alike, he made lasting memories with those who mattered most.
He will be deeply missed by his sons, Harry Ticknor, Jr. and Justin Ticknor; his cherished grandchildren, Evan Adam, Daniel Bradley, and Emelia Iris Ticknor; and his lifelong friend and companion, Chuck Bessler.
A celebration of Harry's life will be held at Wilson Funeral Home on Wednesday, May 14, 2025, at 11 A.M. until 1:00 P.M., where family and friends will gather to honor Harry’s memory and spirit.
The family extends heartfelt thanks to the paramedics and first responders whose care and compassion meant so much during Harry’s final moments.
Fly high, free bird.
