Harold was a veteran of the U.S. Navy. He worked as a timber faller, lumber mill worker, welder and airplane painter. He was self-employed for twelve years as a carpet installer in Washington and Alaska. He was an avid fisherman, backpacker and Pool player. He loved his family above all else. Injured at a lumber mill in 1989 he became gradually more physically disabled but remained mentally strong and spiritually at peace. The Lord has gained a strong man.
