Harold was born to Ray Harvey and Agnes Beale Denhart on October 2, 1938 in Center City, Texas. He graduated from Bangs High School in 1957. After a tour in the US Navy, he was honorably discharged as a 3rd Class Petty Officer Radar-man then returned home to attend North Texas State University.

They were blessed to be able to travel to many countries and lived a very full and happy life together. He was a huge supporter of the Bangs Dragons and rarely missed any sporting or UIL event.
