Harold, was born in Waupaca, Wisconsin on May 24, 1937 to Bert and Adelaide Harris. At the age of 18, in December of 1955 he joined the United States Air Force where he served our country as an Air Policeman for four years. Harold married Helen, a registered nurse and the love of his life. Harold loved to fish, he was proud of his country and loved his guns. Harold also loved to tinker, he was often found in the garage turning coins into beautiful and unique rings. He started the process simply by banging on the coins with a spoon until he later perfected the craft. Harold loved camping in Eagle River, WI with his wife. He often made friends as he talked to people everywhere they went, giving them fun nicknames to remember who was who in his phone. Harold’s age never slowed him down, he was always a kid at heart. He will be missed by family, friends, and all who knew him.
Harold will be laid to rest in Central Wisconsin Veterans Memorial Cemetery in King, Wisconsin. October 1,2021 at 1 p.m.
