Harold was born March 12, 1934 in Richfield, Idaho, to Fredrick W. and Ella Sweat Powell. His father died when he was two years old. He was raised by his mother and stepfather, Harper Buel, along with his sister CoRene Buel Keith.

Harold graduated from Dietrich High School and attended Idaho State College before enlisting with the U.S. Army on February 17, 1954. Following his discharge from the service on February 16, 1956, he returned to college, before ultimately deciding on Law Enforcement.

Harold retired from the Ogden Police Department following 23 and a half years of service. He then worked at Defense Depot Ogden retiring after eight years due to health problems.

He married Billie Muir Bennett on May 31, 1963 in Reno, Nevada. With his marriage to Billie, he became an instant father to Cliff (deceased) and Claudean Bennett.
