The family of Harold Otto Schell has invited the PGR to be present as he is laid to rest. We are proud to do so.
Harold enlisted in the Army in May, 1943. He was honorably discharged in November, 1945 at the rank of Sergeant. His service record reads like the Band of Brothers, having participated in the Battle of the Bulge, The Campaign of Germany, Mulberry Secret Project(Normandy), also known as the Phoenix and European - African Middle Eastern Campaign.
After the war he married the love of his life, Norma, and he started an appliance repair business which he owned for 30 yrs, he also managed a mobile home park in Acton, CA for 25 years. He loved music and played the piano and the organ. Harold was a friend to everyone.
