Harold worked at Juvenile Shoe Factory in Sarcoxie, Wells Aluminum and Hydro in Monett. He retired to care for his wife, Lucille, who was ill with Parkinson's. Harold quit school after finishing eighth grade to begin working to help his family. He worked hard all his life. He enjoyed raising cattle and had a small cattle business until he was unable to care for them due to bad health. His family was most important to him, especially all his grandkids. He enjoyed fishing, going on Ride to Life trail rides, and horseback riding with his sons. He loved caring for his farm. Harold attended Northside Baptist Church in Mt. Vernon as long as he was able. He will be missed by many.
