Harold was a member of Calvary Baptist Church in Wisconsin Rapids. His life was rich in love, joy, and simple pleasures. He found immense pleasure in watching Westerns on television, with Gunsmoke being his favorite. The excitement of the wild west captivated him, filling his hours with adventure. He was also known for his love of family gatherings, where he would often be found relishing good food and the company of his loved ones. Sitting outside, immersed in the beauty of nature, was another of Harold's cherished pastimes.
