Harold was an accomplished, lifelong carpenter and was a member of the Carpenters Union for over 30 years. He enjoyed hunting and was a skilled horseshoe thrower. Harold also enjoyed gardening and he liked tinkering and repairing things. All the neighborhood children knew they could come to him for a new bicycle tire or repair, he was very generous with his time and was always glad to help.  Harold was very knowledgeable of many things, especially mechanics which he understood very easily.

Harold was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
