Harold F Koch

Harold (Cook) Koch arrived in this world on May 7, 1924, and stayed for 101 years to live a long and full life.

He grew up in Labam, WA with his younger brother, Robert, who is deceased.

Harold served in the Army and was honorably discharged just before the U.S. entered WWII.

He went to work in a sawmill and quickly decided this work was not for him. Upon encouragement from his cousins, who worked at Boeing, he applied for a job there and he was hired to work in the missile plant. He spent many successful years working at Boeing until his retirement.

Harold enjoyed traveling. He went to Switzerland many times visiting relatives and friends. He also enjoyed taking cruises to the Caribbean, Panama and Russia.

Harold loved to discuss politics and was always on top of current events. Through the years he and his brother, Robert, could be having lively and friendly debates.

Harold departed the world on November 8, 2025.

He will be missed and remembered by his nieces and nephews and their children.
