Harold was also preceded in death by his wife, Margaret Craft, and a stepson, Larry Cain.
Harold dedicated 37 years of his life as a crane operator at WSX, known among his peers as a man of few words but of great skill and dedication. He was someone who found joy in the simple pleasures of life, especially in the company of his beloved canine companion, Una.
