Harold learned to be a hard worker through chores to be done, including working in the dairy at home, which for several years was the Texas Baptist Children’s Home in Round Rock, Texas. After graduating from Round Rock High School, Harold studied music at McMurray College in Abilene, Texas. Music was a lifelong love for Harold. Harold had the quality of perseverance, having endured difficult situations in his early life, and believed in standing his ground for the things of which he was convinced. Harold was known to have a good sense of humor. He also enjoyed the simpler side of life and was satisfied to be alone and spend time at the local café drinking coffee, smoking and reading magazines.
