Harold lived in New Brighton. One of his earlier jobs took him to Wytheville, Virginia where he met the love of his live, Sarah, whom he affectionately called “mamma.” He was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church of New Brighton until their merger with Redeemer Lutheran Church of Monaca. He served in the U.S. Air Force from 1948 to 1952 and had been a Staff Sergeant. He worked and retired from the banking industry. He served on the Board of Directors for the Upper Beaver Valley Veterans’ Service Center for 40 years holding the office of Secretary/Treasurer, retiring from the board in 2022. He continued his civic involvement to support American veterans with dignity and compassion and was their advocate in ensuring that they received the care, support and recognition earned in service to this Nation. He was a dedicated and proud member of the American Legion Post 19 in New Brighton and also served as a Post Commander.
The family would also like to thank the caring patrons of Kings Family Restaurant and Eat ‘n Park who often anonymously bought Harold’s meals. He felt blessed that people were so kind to him.
