He was raised near Newhall, where he attended parochial school, but had to quit early to go to work. He later returned to finish his education and graduated along with his son, Donald, from the Shellsburg High Schoool in 1956. Harold was united in marriage to Edith Gardner on July 3, 1937, at Bethany Lutheran Church, Cedar Rapids. They farmed together until 1942, when they moved to Shellsburg to open a welding shop. In later years, Harold operated it together with his Donald, and then eventually sold it to his son-in-law, Steve Ternus. He also was a past president of the Iowa and National Blacksmiths associations. Harold was a member of Zion Lutheran Church and lifetime member of the Fire Department both in Shellsburg, and active in the Boy Scouts and Avcion Trailer Association.
