Harold Steiner

Harold was born in the town of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania on June 15, 1934. He was the son of, loving parents, Irvin Steiner and Sylvia Steiner.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Irvin and Sylvia Steiner.

Harold is survived by his wife of 58 years, Susan Steiner, his son David, his wife Wendy and their two children – Michael (his wife Sari) and Jonathan (his wife Alison and son Noah); and his son Jeffrey, his wife Tina and their three children – Brittany, Samantha, and Julie.

Harold was a young athlete, playing both offense and defense for his high school football team. He played every minute of every game from his freshman year through his senior year. He also starred on the school basketball team.

Harold completed his active duty on June 23, 1956 and was honorably discharged from the U.S. Army on August 31, 1962.

Everything that Harold did was for his family in one way or another. He had always been and continued to be a wonderful son that respected his parents like no other. The hard work and dedication that was instilled in him by working side by side with his parents at Steiner’s Sports Center, was a cornerstone for his development and great success in his future real estate and investment endeavors.

On November 24, 1957, Harold married Susan Himan and began his lifelong commitment to his wife and shortly thereafter, his children. He even moved the family from a small town in upstate New York to Miami, with the purpose being to expose his family to a broader spectrum of opportunities. Harold’s effect on his two grandsons was evidenced by their respect, honor, and love for him. Through college and as adults, they went out of their way to spend quality time with him on a regular basis.

Harold was an honorary fireman in Hudson, New York. He was always the go to guy when neighbors had emergencies. He spent his life doing for his family and doing the right thing for all that he interacted with. He was honest to a fault and saved many people from peril in their times of need. The number of sincere letters of deep appreciation that he received is astounding. The resounding theme of the letters was that Harold was the only person there for them in their time of need. He truly was a giver and not a taker.

Harold was an absolute sincere and honest man who thrived in business due to his great “common sense” and self motivation. He did not seek attention, was very comfortable in his own skin, did what he said and said what he meant, did not need external material items to be personally happy, was not overly modest or boastful, always practiced what he preached, and held family to be the most important aspect of his life. He could be a little gruff on the outside, but always generous and supremely kind hearted.

He will always be remembered as a loving husband, father, and grandfather and whose greatest passion was guiding and helping others.
