Harold was born March 30, 1929, in Frost, the son of Henry and Katherine (Strackbein) Weitzel. He attended school in Wells and as a young man moved to the Red Wing area, where he worked at a bakery.

He transferred to a bakery in Albert Lea and met and married Norreen Dahl in 1946. They started their family in 1948. Harold started his own roofing company, Weitzel Roofing, retiring after more than 50 years. He worked hard to build his business and took much pride in the fact his children will continue with the same quality and diligence he did.

In earlier years Harold and Noreen enjoyed dancing. Perfectionist that he was, he took much pride in restoring classic cars and going to antique car shows.

Harold liked to tell jokes and will be remembered as a great storyteller.
