His career included positions as classroom teacher, principal and superintendent of schools in Ohio and culminated with a professorship at Western Michigan University from 1961 until his retirement in 1984.

Among his more recent activities, he was a charter member of the Portage Senior Center and a member of the Center's Reminiscence Writing Group. He was preceded in death by a sister, Fern Boles. Harold is survived by his four children, Sharon Erwine, of Eaton Rapids, Mich., Deborah Montesano, of Chandler, Ariz., David Boles, of Tuscaloosa, Ala., Dennis Boles, of Holland, Mich.; 11 grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; a sister, Doris Bowers, of Urbana, Ohio; and many nieces and nephews.
