He was a former board member of the American Red Cross and served on the allocation committee for United Way. For many years he served on the Service to Military Families committee of the Red Cross. He was a faithful member of the Downtown Rotary Club and an active participant in the international foreign studies programs at TCU and Texas Wesleyan University where he provided scholarships to many students seeking education in the United States. Harold sponsored these programs quietly and discreetly, always without fanfare.
For years, Harold served on the Fort Worth Opera board. He was usually present at all cultural events in the city: opera, symphony, ballet and theater. Harold was loved by everyone whoever met him. He was gracious, hospitable, a good listener and was always supportive of anyone who was in need of help. His host of friends will miss him but his memory will always be impressed on each of them. He was in rare form a genuine humanitarian.
