Harry (Gindy) Gindhart was born in Cleveland, Ohio June 3, 1947, a son of Harry K. Gindhart Sr. and Jeanne Fisher Gindhart. He attended Clemson University before serving in the US Navy, then went on to work in radio, which led to a lifelong love for music and jingles. From there, Harry began a successful 20-year career in construction, retiring as President of Dolphin Building Systems, a division of Dolphin Architects and Builders in Charleston, SC. Harry had a calling to serve the Lord and, after receiving his Master of Divinity from Emory University, went on to serve as a United Methodist minister in the South Carolina Conference. Over his 18 years of ministry he served 9 churches across South Carolina.

As an avid boater, his love for sailing started at a very young age while summering every year with his family on the Chesapeake Bay. He is a former member of the Charleston Yacht Club and United States Power Squadron, where he proudly served as a Commander. Harry was well known for his corny jokes and jovial personality. He truly loved life and always put his family first. To know him was to love him.
