After the war he pursued his passion of teaching and coaching at Pierce High School, York High School, Norfolk Junior College, and Iowa Wesleyan College. He retired from coaching in 1974 and teaching in 1987 from Black Hawk College in Moline, IL. Harold believed that staying active and fit was important.
