One day, while working at Deaver’s Service Station, an attractive young woman walked by catching Harold’s eye. On February 17, 1951 he married Delores Anderson at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Gothenburg. They made their home in Gothenburg where they raised four children; Diane, Layne, Kirt & Nancy. In 1988 they moved to Jeffrey Lake south of Brady where they enjoyed the lake life and the tight-knit community. Their marriage lasted 56 years until Delores passed away in 2007.
Harold had many talents and could build almost anything from most any material. He had a lifelong love of gadgets and was always trying to figure out how to make them work just a little bit better. He spent many enjoyable years perfecting his love of woodworking, sharing many of the pieces he crafted with family and friends. He enjoyed maintaining the roads and the burn pile at the lake and loved hosting the annual lake gathering at his home. His workshop was always open and a place where friends and neighbors would stop by to borrow tools, get something repaired, or just sit and visit.
Survivors include his children: Diane (Calvin) Streeter of Pflugerville, TX; Layne (Lyn) Knoedler of Kearney, Kirt (Heidi) Knoedler and Nancy (Kenneth) Christensen both of Gothenburg. He is also survived by a brother Raymond Knoedler, a sister Patricia Teter, sister-in-law Peggy Knoedler, 10 grandchildren, 13 great grandchildren with the 14th on the way, along with many friends and extended family.
Harold was preceded in death by his wife Delores Knoedler, his parents John & Hannah, step mother Jewel Knoedler, a sister Maxine Metcalf, a brother Keith Knoedler and infant brother Robert Knoedler.
Funeral Services will be held at American Lutheran Church, 1512 Ave G, Gothenburg, NE, Tuesday, October 9, 2018 at 10:30 am with Pastor Jon Mapa officiating.
Interment will follow in the Fort McPherson National Cemetery, Maxwell, Nebraska.
