Jeanette preceded him in death on June 17, 1961. On June 1, 1963, Harold was united in marriage to Lilly Justman at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Kewaskum.
Harold was a lifelong farmer in the town of Wayne, and later drove for Beechwood Cheese Factory in Beechwood. He was a member of St. Bridget Catholic Church, where he served as treasurer and secretary and was involved with the maintenance of the church for 25 years. He also served as a Washington County supervisor for 16 years.
Harold was a charter member of the Kewaskum Sno-Chiefs Snowmobile Club and the Kewaskum Sportsman’s Club.

Harold’s first love was his family. His second was his ‘66 Chevy convertible in which they traveled through and to 34 of the states. He also loved hunting, snowmobiling and refurbishing cars and tractors. Harold will fondly be remembered for his sense of humor and will be deeply missed by his wife, his family and by all who knew him.
