   After the death of Harold's father, he moved to St. Louis, Missouri, where he was raised by his Uncle and Aunt, Clarence and Ruth Watson. As he grew up with his Aunt and Uncle, he became an active member of the St. Paul AME Baptist Church. At an early age, Harold chose to volunteer for service with the United States Navy. As he would reflect on the years that he served in the Navy. He would often boast about his travel adventures and be proud to be of service to his country while serving in the military.

   After his service with the Navy ended, Harold was productive in holding various odd jobs until he found his niche as a master Plummer. After his late wife (Laura Bassett-Wimbley) became ill, they decided to move to Harpersville, New York, so that she could be closer to her family until she went home to be with the Lord.

Harold was famous to his New York family & friends for his "Fried Chicken and Potato Salad."

   He participated in various organizations and events at the church until his move to Memphis, TN, with his very close and special friend, Judy Lawson, who preceded him in death. He is also preceded in death by 3 Sisters, Pearlie Mae, Estella, and Zenobia. Harold's mobility became very limited as his health condition began to fail.
