Harold then migrated to the United States where he made Maryland his home for several years. It was there, twenty one years ago where he met his fiance, Kim Burley. Harold eventually relocated to Georgia establishing his own business, Satellite Home Improvement. Harold enjoyed working with his hands spending time with his family and friends, cooking and gardening. He was passionate about two things, hunting and football; he was a diehard Washington Redskins fan. He was very vibrant, pleasant and always had a joke to keep the people around him comfortable and at home. He was affectionately known as the "Comedian" in the family. His favorite phrase: " aahh, prosecution the mighty one must bear." He was an adventurer at heart and was always ready to take on life's challenges. When God called him home on Monday, October 3, 2011, he was doing something that he was passionate about, hunting. He died in the woodlands with his bow next to him.
