Harold worked for and retired from Steenberg Mobile Homes in 1984. Harold was also an avid Packer fan. He began attending Packer games when they played at Green Bay East High School.

Also,we cannot thank Dr. Mark Herring and his staff enough. Dr. Herring was always there, morning, noon or night and treated Harold with such respect and compassion. Harold always said "You just don't find m' like that anymore."
