In Memoriam – Harry N. Faulkner
1941 – 2021
The FGKS Law family celebrates the life of our long-time partner and close friend, Harry N. Faulkner, who passed away on May 29, 2021.
Harry was born March 22, 1941. A life-long resident of Sidney, he was a 1959 Sidney High School graduate and proudly attended Ohio Wesleyan University and Ohio Northern University Law School.
Harry practiced law for 52 years, 38 of which were with Faulkner, Garmhausen, Keister & Shenk, the firm he helped establish in 1983.
He served others in Sidney and Shelby County by lending his time and talents to local organizations, including the United Way, YMCA, Dorothy Love Retirement Community, Chamber of Commerce, Salvation Army, Sidney City Schools, Amos Memorial Public Library, West Ohio Development Council, Community Improvement Corporation of Sidney and Shelby County, and Edison State Community College Foundation.
Harry’s contributions to the community were recognized with lifetime achievement, community service, and other special awards, including the Chamber of Commerce Zenith Award, Sidney High School Hall of Honor, Shelby County Bar Association Award of Merit, and The Terry M. Thomas Friend of Community Colleges Award.
Whether in the office or on the street, Harry never met a stranger. His loyalty, leadership and kindness made a lasting impression on so many and will be forever remembered. He will be greatly missed by FGKS Law and the community.
FGKS Law extends its condolences to Harry’s wife, Bonnie, and to the rest of the Faulkner family.
