Harold L. Remaly, 80, of Hickory Hills in Moore Township, passed away peacefully while surrounded by his loving family on Sunday, November 30, 2025, at St. Luke's Hospital - Anderson Campus in Bethlehem Township. Harold and his wife, Judith A. (Bickert) Remaly, would have celebrated their 44th wedding anniversary on December 12th.

Born in Northampton, he was a son of the late Harold G. and Winifred M. (Hess) Remaly, and a graduate of Nazareth High School, Class of 1963. After graduating, Harold embarked on a successful career at C.F. Martin Guitar in Nazareth, where he was employed for 25 years as a production craftsman, before retiring early due to health concerns in 1989. A man of great faith, Harold was an active member of Bushkill United Methodist Church, where in his youth he served as president of the youth group. In his adult years, he served as a Sunday school teacher and a devoted leader of bible study bring many to the saving grace of Jesus Christ.

Prior to his disability, Harold was a talented woodworker who enjoyed the skilled craft of working with his hands and found great fulfillment in his passion for craftsmanship and attention to detail . Harold's legacy will resonate not only through the beautiful guitars he made but also through the countless lives he touched over the years. Beyond his talents, he loved the beach and enjoyed vacationing in Florida at Daytona and St. Petersburg, special places where Judy and Harold shared many fond memories.
