Harold honorably served in the United States Army as a firefighter while stationed in the United States and as a Fire Chief while stationed in Korea.

Harold served for many years as cemetery caretaker at St. Peter U.C.C., Knauertown, keeping the grass manicured and taking care of the final resting places of many people that he knew. A lifelong outdoorsman, Harold was an avid fisherman who loved taking his boat out on local lakes and only fished for Crappie. He also enjoyed hunting and archery, having won many archery awards and tournaments. Harold loved gardening and growing strawberries and blueberries. His backyard blueberry patch became well-known throughout the neighborhood. He loved canning and making blueberry jelly. Friends who came to visit never left without blueberries or a jar of blueberry jelly to take home. He enjoyed a daily morning walk up the road and loved to sit on his porch and wave to the cars that would beep as they passed by.
