HARKRADER, FRED DONALD, age 73, of Christiansburg, passed away Tuesday, August 11, 2009 at Montgomery Regional Hospital.
Don’s love for hunting, fishing and the out of doors lead him to open both Harkrader Marine and Custom Gun Shop, which remained in business for 40 years.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to Dr. Harry McCoy.
