Harold was proud of his military service in the U.S. Navy as a young man. He continued to grow and learn in several different careers over his adult life managing people and financial offices. He was known for his helpful hand to anyone who needed a hand up. He would literally give you the shirt off of his back or his last dollar. He married Shirley Ann Couey in August 1955 and was married for 31 years before she passed in May 1987. Their four children were his most valuable asset. He was so proud of the independent adults they had become. His family and friends loved and will dearly miss him.
The family will have a private celebration of life at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family requests you consider making a donation to the following organizations; Meals on Wheels Atlanta, Wounded Warrior Project or any organization that supports our Veterans or Seniors.
