Harry Edward Bettin, Jr. , 87, of Souderton, PA, formerly of Telford, peacefully passed away at home on Friday, September 12, 2025.

He was the beloved husband of Barbara A. (Moore) Bettin, with whom he shared 61 wonderful years of marriage.

Born in Philadelphia, PA, Harry was the son of the late Harry E. Bettin, Sr. and the late Mary E. (Free) Bettin. He was a 1955 graduate of Abraham Lincoln High School in Philadelphia.

Harry proudly served his country in the United States Army during the Vietnam War as part of the artillery division. Following his service, he worked for many years in purchasing — first with Leeds & Northrup in North Wales, and later as a Purchasing Agent at American Electronic Laboratories in Wynnewood, where he dedicated over 40 years before retiring in 2005.

A man of deep faith, Harry was a longtime member of North Wales Baptist Church.

Harry had many interests and hobbies throughout his life. He had a passion for model railroading, particularly Lionel trains, and was an avid reader of mystery novels. He loved traveling, especially scenic drives to the Poconos, and had a deep appreciation for cars — both watching NASCAR and working on his own vehicles. He also enjoyed horseback riding and once owned a Palomino horse named JD, with whom he participated in horse shows.

He will be remembered as a hardworking, kind-hearted, and gentle man with a quiet sense of humor and a generous spirit.

In addition to his loving wife, Barbara, Harry is survived by his daughter, Bonnie Jean Bettin of North Wales, PA; his son, George Edward Bettin of Quakertown, PA; his grandson, Sean Andrew Bettin of Phillipsburg, NJ; his great-granddaughter, Savannah Rose Bettin of Phillipsburg, NJ; and his sister, Linda Borneman and her husband, James, of Green Lane, PA.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his son, Brian Thomas Bettin, and his sister, Marilyn Yeakel.
