Harold worked as a journeyman lineman for Rural Electric Cooperative, Missouri Public Service, Aquila, and the local farm services agency, as well as many area farmers. He was a cattle farmer and even though he moved to Trenton a number of years ago, he still enjoyed farming. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge, as well as the Rural Dale Baptist Church.

In addition to his parents, he was preceding in death by two sisters, Wanda Harris and Roberta Akers. The late Charley Brinser was his step father.

Shirley,
I''m so sorry for your loss. You have my deepest condolences and I wish I could be there in person to express them. I only got to meet Harold a handful of times but hearing your stories about him, I know how much you miss him and what a good man he was. You are one of the strongest people I know but I''ll keep you in my prayers- both of you.

Ray we are sorry to hear of the sudden passing of your dad. It makes one stop and give thanks for where we are today because we don''t have any assurance of tomorrow. He was only a couple years older than I, kind of makes you realize life moves on.

We are so sorry about the passing of your precious loved one. We remember him as a hard working man who did a "great job" no matter what the job was. We remember him as being there to help out when Ray & Nina farmed my parents, the Spencers, ground. Know that we care and you are all in our thoughts and prayers.
