He was a life time member of the San Antonio Plumbers and Pipefitters Local No. 142 and held a Master Plumbers License. He retired in August, 2005. Harold attended Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church and Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church, both in New Braunfels, Texas.
Harold adored his daughters and continued to help them and their families whenever and wherever he was needed. He never missed a school function including sports for his grandchildren, Matthew and Bradley Schmid and Joseph ivy. He was so very proud of each one of his grandchildren plus now one great grandson and one great granddaughter.

He and his wife traveled throughout the United States from the East Coast to the West Coast, including Hawaii and Alaska along with many trips to the Texas coast with children and grandchildren.
