Harold was born on August 3, 1920, in Council Bluffs, Iowa. He grew up in Council Bluffs and graduated from Abraham Lincoln High School in 1938.

He worked with his father, Ted, in the plumbing and heating business until he enlisted in the United States Coast Guard on July 21, 1942. After boot camp and Aviation Mechanics School, he was stationed at the Coast Guard Base, in Port Angeles, until the end of World War II.

After the war, he returned to Council Bluffs and returned to the plumbing and heating business. Soon he met his future wife, Kathryn Newman, and were married on May 1, 1949, at St. John's Lutheran Church in Adair, Iowa.

They raised their two sons, Joel and John, in Iowa while pursuing careers in real estate, insurance, and farming. They finally retired and moved to Port Angeles in 1988.

After Kathryn's passing in 1997, Harold married life long friend, Joyce Herman, in 1998. They enjoyed their retirement years living in Port Angeles.
