Harold, sons, and friends enjoyed yearly horse pack trips, enjoying Francis Barton and his sons’ cooking and Kedric Somerville’s sourdough biscuits and trail scouting.

Later in life Harold and his many four-wheeling friends spent hours with pick, shovel, and trail signs getting new trails and trail systems all over the county approved.  

Harold also had a passion for Camp Jackson on the back side of the Blues on property inherited from Earl Perkins, Erline’s father. Harold and Erline spent summers and any spare minute they had at Camp Jackson.

Kids and grandkids spent countless hours helping Harold and Erline improving, playing, and enjoying many family activities on the property.

They built lasting memories with Grandpa and Grandma through family reunions and activities. 

Harold was very active in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, serving in many callings, including bishop, councilor in stake presidency with Cooper Jones, and as a temple worker in the Monticello Temple. 

Graveside services were held Friday, May 1 following a four-wheeler and vehicle procession going from his home to the cemetery. Graveside services were held for immediate family only.
