George “Kenny” Harrold, 83, of Espyville, PA, was embraced into the loving arms of his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Wednesday, December 11th, 2024.
Born April 3, 1941, in Pittsburgh, PA., he was the son of George Lee Harrold and Vincenza (“Verna” Decara) Harrold. He married his childhood sweetheart, Donna “Red” Cristallino Harrold on November 23rd, 1961, Thanksgiving Day. She preceded him in death on December 6th, 2017.
Kenny attended Oliver High School before beginning his service in 1958 with the United States Navy on the USS Skywatcher until 1961. He served another three years in the US Naval Reserve until 1964. He worked for Allis—Chalmers until the Pittsburgh plant closed in 1976, after which he worked for the Pittsburgh Port Authority until retirement. He was Co-Owner of Tutti’s Pizza in Espyville during the early 1990’s.
Survived by his 2 children, Kenny Harrold and his wife, Diane, of Jamestown, PA, and Kimberly Harrold Mansfield and her husband, David, of Nashville, TN. Kenny was incredibly proud of his 5 grandchildren, Dannetta (Harrold) Johnson, Ian Mansfield, Kenny Lee Harrold, Shannen Mansfield, and Christian Mansfield. He will be greatly missed by his beloved sister Patricia Harrold Fontana/Patsy Fontana, as well as in-laws Shirley/Ken Buchsbaum, Bill/Ladonne Guerra, and numerous nieces and nephews.
Kenny never met a stranger and had a multitude of friends between Pittsburgh, Espyville, Cleveland, and Nashville, Tennessee. His greatest joy was his beloved “Red” and kids - his greatest gift to all who knew him was the storytelling of his life experiences. For that, his memory will forever live on.
A Celebration of Life gathering is planned for Summer followed by full military honors and burial in Nashville, Tennessee.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in honor of Kenny to the Disabled American Veterans at www.dav.org.
