Harold was an industrial engineer at Barrow Manufacturing for most of his career. He earned a reputation as a problem solver and jack of all trades. Despite his Andy Griffith persona, he often implemented new technology to improve productivity and make workers' jobs easier.
Harold was an amateur photographer, gardener, musician, and writer. Sitting in with the Skillet Lickers bluegrass band practice was Harold's Friday night get away. Harold Thurmond treasured his family and faith. He was proud of his mountain heritage and the family of friends he shared from high school and college. He had more than 50 first cousins and loved family reunions and keeping up with everyone on social media.
The family asks that in lieu of flowers, any donations be made to Wolffork Baptist Church in Rabun Gap, GA. Due to COVID concerns, there will be a private family Graveside Service.
