Harold is the son of John Albert and Anna Ottillia (Carlson) Almquist.
After finishing high school in Wilcox, Harold took a job in Kearney, working as desk clerk at the Fort Kearney Hotel.
Around 1940, he moved to Denver and went to work at the Gates Rubber Company, where he met his future wife, Marion.
Marion was born and raised around Minden, Nebraska but had moved to Denver with her sister, and they were both working at Gates.
With World War II just beginning, Harold joined the Army and took basic training. Harold then returned to Denver and him and Marion went to Axtell where they were married at the old family church, Bethany Lutheran.
During the war, Harold & Marion lived in Ft Lewis, Washington. After the war, they made their home in Denver, and Harold returned to work at Gates, until he retired about 1975, due to Parkinson's Disease.
Harold and Marion's door was always open for anyone needing a helping hand. It is doubtful that there was ever a relative, either vacationing in Denver, or needing a place to stay for awhile when moving to Denver, that didn't "kick their feet under Harold and Marion's table" for a time. Their welcome mat was always out - worn out!
Their vacations were nearly always spent in Axtell, cleaning, painting, or wall papering at their parents homes. Their greatest pleasure in life was in giving pleasure to others.
