Harold Paul Schlomer, 85, of Bicknell, Indiana, passed away on June 26, 2024, surrounded by his family. Born on December 26, 1938, in Vincennes, Indiana, Harold led a life filled with dedication, love, and passion for the outdoors. A proud veteran of the US Air Force, Harold served his country with honor. On November 15, 1958 he married Rosemary Memering and they made their life together for 65 years. After his military service, he enjoyed a successful career at PSI, from which he retired in 1996.
