With heavy hearts, HRFC mourns the passing of John Hoerner, Mayor of Highspire and beloved friend of the club and its members. Mayor Hoerner gave Harrisburg Rugby the closest thing it had to a real home pitch, by allowing us to play and practice on Memorial Field for the past several years. Our deepest condolences go out to Mayor Hoerner’s family, and to the greater Highspire community.
We would like to have a great showing of HRFC members at the funeral on Saturday, 1/7, at 11am, to show our appreciation for his dedicated relationship with HRFC.

Viewing: Friday, January 6th – 6pm – 8pm
Viewing: Saturday, January 7th – 9am – 11am
Funeral: Saturday, January 7th – 11am
