Harold Wesley See's Obituary
Harold was born on a farm in Manning, Kansas to George and Leta See. He was the only boy with 3 sisters. He married Phyllis Groshans and they moved to Colorado Springs. He served in the Army in Hawaii during WWII. Harold and Phyllis moved to California so he could pursue a machinist career in the Bay Area. They settled in Woodside and raised 3 children- Wes, Terry, and D'Ann. Harold worked for Hewlett-Packard Labs in Palo Alto for 25 years. He loved to go fishing and hunting with the boys, be a chaperone for D'Ann's activities, and search through piles of change at the kitchen table to add to his coin collection. He was a certified antique watch and clock repairman as a hobby, and his passion was to collect many other antiques. Harold married Delma Jo and they spent over 30 years together. They were active retirees who enjoyed RV'ing and spending the winters in Yuma, Arizona. They square danced many times a week and Harold was a popular and talented line dance teacher. He was a very kind, quiet and gentle man with many friends everywhere he went. He passed away at home surrounded by his family on June 15th after a long, courageous battle with a blood disease. He was preceded in death by his oldest son Wes. He is survived by Delma Jo and Phyllis; his children Terry and Theresa See of Ft Myers, FL; D'Ann and Carl Darling of Palo Alto, CA; 10 grandchildren Mike and Debbie See, Jason See, Zachary See, Jennifer Darling, Eric Darling, Nicholas Casey, Bram Sluis , Susanna, Mary and Jody Allatt; and 5 great-grandchildren. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the Salvation Army. A private family burial was held on June 26th. A celebration of Harold's life will be held later.
