Harold was born on February 9, 1941 in Grant County, Wisconsin, son of Lester and Carolyn (Peake) McPhail. Harold worked 34 years for the Platteville Street Department. He was a hard worker and enjoyed being outdoors, especially hunting, fishing and gardening. He valued spending time with people and would talk your ear off if you let him. He was a selfless person who would go the extra mile if anyone asked him to. Grandpa was by far his favorite title and he insisted on spoiling his grandchildren every chance he got.
Harold is survived by his son and daughter-in-law, Scott and Kimberly McPhail; four grandchildren, Jacob McPhail, Tessa McPhail, Elizabeth (Trenton) LeCleir and Joseph McPhail; one great-grandson due in March; two sisters, Diane (Jim) Morse and Pamela (Larry) Catellier and nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, and two sons, John and Michael, and a brother Dennis in childhood, and several siblings in infancy.
