Harry "the Horse" was a longshoreman and President of the Daly City Hells Angels motorcycle club until he was shot execution-style. His arms and legs were bound together and his eyes and mouth were taped shut. Two bullets into his brain finished him off.

At his funeral in 1977, over one hundred and fifty fellow Hells Angels encircled Cypress Lawn with their rumbling hogs. Harry was buried in a double vault, and in a roar of engines, the Hells Angels paid final tribute to their fallen leader.

But, like, you know: no one can ride Harry's Harley. I mean, No One. It was his. It's so good, no one else should ride it. Ever.

So three months later, the gang came back to Cypress Lawn with Harry's Harley Davidson motorcycle in tow, intent on burying it with Harry. One can only imagine what the cemetery officials were thinking, but you let the Hells Angels do what they want. So they placed the chopper on top of Harry's coffin and reburied him.

Around this time, Harry's dog, Chopper, died as well. The gang buried him in Pet's Rest along with his own miniature motorcycle.

Harry is in the Holly Mound Section in the western, newer half of the cemetery.
