On July 14, 1968 in Portales, he was married to Eloise Marie Muse.  The couple had five children, two sons and three daughters.  As a father and later as a grandfather, he enjoyed playing with the little ones.  Being a very positive and upbeat person, with a very gentle soul, he loved to sing and whistle, especially hymns and gospel songs.

Harold liked to keep up with current events, and he enjoyed good food.  Harold was happiest outdoors, working or walking and enjoying God’s creation.  He was a faithful member of the Northside Church of Christ.
