worked as a licensed plumber for P. Stoltz and Co. on Park Street in Hartford, and
for other local plumbers. In the early 1980's he started working for Goodwin

rest of his career and at the age of 83, he was still working. Harold was a hard
working, generous man who made anyone he met smile. He loved to work
outside in his later years, whether it was raking leaves, planting bushes, painting
or plowing snow in the winter, his favorite. He enjoyed being outside, it could be
95 degrees and there he was. He loved his job and he loved working at Goodwin
