Harold became a machinist and served as a mentor for more than 30 years at Fay-Scott Landis Machine Corp. to many young men who later went on to work at Pratt & Whitney in Connecticut.
Community-minded, he served as a Sangerville selectman for more than 10 years. A World War II veteran, Harold was a no-nonsense, frugal, competitive, dawn-to-dusk workaholic.
Harold was predeceased by his parents; his seven sisters, Hazel Downing, Bernice Daley, Betty Lemieux, Amy Rotella, Beulah Nelson, Coris Haskell and Lena Getchell; a brother, William Rees; and two sons, Harold Rees Jr. and Kim Rees.
He is survived by the love of his life, Maude-Doris Rees; a daughter, Diana and her husband, Richard; a son, Gary and his wife, Toni; a son, Gene and his wife, Eleanor; two beloved daughters-in-law, Penny Rees and Shirley Rees; and 13 grandchildren, Shawn, Meghan, Brian, Kevin, James, Gene, Saundra, Penny, Kyle, Brett, Heather, Hope and Chad.
