He also worked part-time as a custodian in the Phenix City School System for several years and he was loved by the children and the teachers alike because of his giving spirit. He would help anyone and his love for cars and working on cars made him many friends over the years also. One of his favorite things to do was go to the car shows down in Moultrie, GA and search for tools and parts with his cousin and grandson.
Harold lived a life full of love laughter and to a host of the neighborhood children chose him as their "papa" too and he took care of all the bikes, and any other thing he could fix for them.
