He graduated from Buchanan High School in 1946 and has been a lifelong resident of Buchanan. Harold went on to serve in the Army during the Korean War as an engineer and was part of the 76th Engr. Const. Bn. He was a man with many talents, learning to fly a plane in high school and often helped train other pilots. After his service in the Army, he became an electrician and worked at Clark Equipment Company until he retired. Harold could build or fix almost anything and was an avid gardener. On July 4, 1956, he married Jeanette (Jean) Stephan, she passed away on July 14, 1987. Harold later met Dee Ann Stephenson and they were married on August 3, 1997.
