As a young man he served on the volunteer fire department and as a Law enforcement officer in Ransomville, New York.  It was here he met and married Marlene Nellie Furman on January 30, 1955. They became the parents of Carl Richard Westcott in 1956.  Harold was employed by Great Lakes Carbon Company and in the 1950s was moved to Lancaster California as part of their new plant administrative team.

Both Marlene and Harold became Master Guides in the church youth ministries program known as Pathfinders.
