Harold attended school in Mendon, IL, served in the Army, attended University of Illinois, and then moved to Arizona some fifty years ago. After retiring from Valley National Bank, he continued to work in agriculture until the last two years. He was always ready to drive through the fields and desert of Arizona. Arrangements are entrusted to Bunker University Chapel, Mesa, 3529 E University Drive. The family hopes that contributions to a favorite charity of one’s choice or to Mendon Congregation U.C.C., 106 E. High Street, Mendon, IL 62351, will be considered in lieu of flowers.
Following the services, the family would like to host everyone for lunch nearby at: Rancho de Tia Rosa, 3129 E. McKellips Rd., Mesa, AZ. After lunch, the family will welcome visitors for coffee and pastries at their home.
