Harold was proud to have served on the Hudson School Board; helping to pass the bond issue for the new high school and to have played a part in saving the ag program as well as the Hudson FFA Chapter. He loved driving his candy apple red "cool car" (Mach 1 Ford Mustang) that he bought brand new in 1973 when he went down to Iowa State University. His lifelong passion was agriculture, supporting the local Pork Producers and pork industry. Above all else, Harold was firm in his faith as a lifetime member of Zion Lutheran Church and he loved his family deeply!
