Harold graduated from Edmond High School in 1962 and after a short time at Central State College (UCO), he decided he wanted to join the US Navy “and see the world”. During the majority of his tour, he was stationed at the Pentagon, with top security clearance and was an honor guard at the inauguration of President Lyndon B. Johnson. He also got to spend a year in Iceland. After his Navy tour he began working at NCR and continued for 38 years, retiring in 2006.

Harold loved camping, fishing, and dogs and was a master at fixing anything. “A roll of duct tape, super glue, and WD-40 and he was set”. He was a very unique person with an uncanny sense of humor. He will be greatly missed.

Services will be Monday, September 8^th at 2:00 pm. at the Edmond Church of Christ, Chapel, with interment to follow as Gracelawn Cemetery.
