Harold W. Scrogin
Harold was born in Live Oak, California to Henry & Eudora Scrogin 20 minutes after his twin brother, Henry, on July 13, 1929. He went to be with the Lord on November 18, 2010. His wonderfully good natured disposition, hearty laugh, infectious smile and willingness to help anywhere will be greatly missed by all of us who knew and loved him. Harold was a life-long resident of Live Oak, graduating from Live Oak High School and attending Yuba College. He served in the military during the Korean War and kept his family enthralled and amused with stories of army life. He was a farmer for 50 years and a member of Sunsweet Growers. One of Harold's defining characteristics was his love of people and his family, who were the center of his life. He had great joy in serving others, working on any community project, as well as sharing the produce from his large garden and family orchard. He loved the outdoors and was an avid hunter and fisherman, spending many happy hours with his friends and family enjoying these activities. He has been the recipient of many expressions of appreciation including the Citizen of the Year award, Grand Marshall of the Peach Festival Parade and "Lion" of the year along with his twin brother Henry. He was a charter member of the Live Oak Lions Club with 56 years of perfect attendance. He also served as chairman of the Live Oak Lion's Christmas Food Basket Program, assisted by his wife, for many years. Harold has been a devoted husband to Maxine for 57 years. He will be dearly missed by her and his children Peggy (Kennith) Bowen, Jack (Freddie) Rentz, his 11 grandchildren and 20 great grandchildren. He is also survived by his brothers Henry (Darline) Scrogin, Willard (Jennifer) Scrogin, his sister Elinor (Ulysess) Self, and numerous nieces & nephews. He was preceded in death by his sister, Delores "Lovey" (Robert) Clark. His great heart of generosity, loyalty and love for each one, is "Pop's" lasting legacy to us. Visitation will be at Ullrey Memorial Chapel from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, November 23, 2010. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, December 4, 2010 at 2:00 p.m. at The Father's House in Live Oak on Highway 99.
