Harold passed away Tuesday, July 3, 2012 at Wasatch Care Center of Ogden, as comfortable as possible. He is survived by his dearly loved wife, Viola, their two children, four grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Born in Ogden, he was the youngest son of George Henry and Rachael Burton Hinkle, leading his brother to call him "Tiny". He was raised in Huntsville, settled in Montana and Utah, he returned home for his final years to Ogden to spend with his family.
Harold and Vi were married while he was on leave after military training. Harold served his country with all honor in WWII fighting in five major campaigns in Europe. After years of separation, he returned home and went to work on his interrupted marriage, began his family, and returned to his civilian career as a meat cutter.
Retirement led Harold to leave the city for his beloved country, living in Richfield, Mayfield, and Scipio of central Utah. Here he made friends and enjoyed the rural lifestyle of his country boy roots for many years. Until health issues and the need to be nearer to family prompted Harold and Vi to return to Ogden.
Harold lived life to the hilt. Always quick to lend a hand, a tall tale or a flash that legendary sense of humor; whenever anyone needed any of those. He loved life. He loved his family. He loved animals. He loved a good joke. That is how he wants us all to remember him; with a smile in our hearts and a joke on our lips as this old cowboy rides over the final hill into the sunset. But he'll be waiting for us there with a fresh round of stories and jokes.
Funeral services will be held on Saturday, July 7, 2012 at 11 a.m. at Lindquist's Ogden Mortuary, 3408 Washington Blvd. Friends may visit with family on Friday from 6 to 7 p.m. and Saturday from 9:45 to 10:45 a.m. at the mortuary
