Fox hunting on horseback, fly fishing, playing tennis, reading, oil painting and gardening were his lifetime interest and hobbies.
His wife of fifty-three years, Martha, of Colorado Springs, Colorado, and a daughter, Brooke Davis of Highlands Ranch, Colorado, survive him and shared those interests and hobbies with him. Harold enjoyed good times with siblings, sisters and brothers-in-law, family, friends and two very close (surviving) military friends.
A private graveside service will be held in Vernon, Indiana, on September 23 under the direction of Dove-Sharp & Rudicel Funeral Home and Cremation Services. A family gathering will follow the service.
