Harold graduated from Bangor High School, class of 1947, and worked as a driver for Steve's Dry Cleaning and at his father's store. Harold was drafted into the Army in Jan of 1951 and did his basic training at Fort Jackson, SC. He and Shirley were married there and honeymooned in Gatlinburg, TN. After going to Camp Atterbury, IN (with Shirley) for medic training he was deployed to Pusan, South Korea. His unit was later moved to Osaka, Japan. He returned home in Jan of 1953 for discharge. Harold drove for Greyhound Bus Lines before joining the Bangor Fire Department in 1957. Harold worked at Central and then Station 6 (Center St) and drove the ladder truck. After 20 years of service, he retired and then drove the Bangor City Bus for several years. People may also remember Harold during his fire department years for washing windows, mowing lawns and painting homes as a side job. He was a member of the American Legion and was an avid sports fan. He loved his New York Giants football and Boston Red Sox baseball teams. Harold's family has many fond memories of summers spent at camp at Philips Lake.
