Harold was born in December 1929, to Dallas and Gladys (Jones) Robirds in Missouri. The family moved to the Powell area in 1933. Harold was raised on the family farm and learned the value of hard work.

After high school, Harold enlisted in the Air Force and served proudly during the Korean War. He then attended and graduated from the University of Montana. He worked as a CPA until the age of 83, and took pride in the business he built and the clients he helped.

He married Marc (Martha) Robirds in Powell’s Presbyterian Church in 1955. They were married for 64 years and he referred to her as the “toughest person he ever knew.”

Harold loved his work, music, gardening, baseball, a hot cup of coffee, and above all, his family.
