Harold Lavern Peirsol was born on the family farm in Melba, Idaho, on December 9, 1936, to Floyd Nelson and Etta Sarratt Peirsol. He was the youngest of three sons. He attended grade school in Melba and graduated from Melba High School in 1955. He passed away on March 1, 2019, at Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center under the care of Aspen Hospice.
He worked at Boise Payette Lumber in Melba while in high school and also helped with the family farm. After graduation, he continued farming and then was employed at Lloyd Lumber Company in Nampa, Idaho. He was also the tester for the DHIA (Dairy Herd Improvement Association) for several years. He enjoyed the farmwork the most and loved having a herd of milk cows.
Years later, he got an offer to work in the logging industry and he moved to Afton, Wyoming with his young family. In 1970, he relocated to Idaho Falls and got employment again with Boise Cascade, which later became BMC West. He was with them for many years until his retirement in 2001. He loved meeting people on his delivery routes in Wyoming and other areas and remained friends with many of them. He always tried to work hard and do his best at everything he attempted. He was a good handyman and could fix almost anything that needed repair.
Harold met Dolores Howard in 1956 and they were married on February 28, 1958, in Nampa, Idaho.
