Harold John Munneke was born on October 9, 1938 to John and Clarinda (DeGroot) Munneke in Platte, SD. Harold attended New Holland Grade School, Platte High School and also completed the Auto and Diesel Mechanics Program at Mitchell Vo-Tech.

He was united in marriage to Ramona Jean Bultsma on December 27, 1962 at the Platte Christian Reformed Church. They had a dairy farm Northeast of Platte until moving to Mitchell in 2014. After Ramona's passing in 2018, Harold moved to be closer to his son's family in Wisconsin.

Harold was a member of the First Reformed Church in Platte, then joined the First United Methodist Church in Mitchell until moving to Baraboo where he then attended the Emanuel Methodist Church.

He enjoyed traveling with Ramona to various locations throughout the United States in his retirement years. He especially enjoyed the memories of his trips to Alaska.

Grateful for having shared in Harold's life were: his son, Ron (Shari) Munneke and his grandchildren: Matthew and Melissa Munneke, all of Baraboo, WI; and two sisters: Betty (Harold) Beukelman of Volga, SD and Elsie Naminga of Lake Andes, SD.

Harold was preceded in death by: his wife, Ramona; his parents, John and Clarinda Munneke; his brother, Marvin (Joan) Munneke; and parents-in-law, Ted and Ann Bultsma.
