He married Wilma Hedley of Hamiota on July 9, 1955. They had five children; Diane LaVerle, Marilyn Georgina, Cameron Harvey George, Blaine Hedley and Harold Chris. Harold's father taught him how to farm which resulted in his purchase of the Treloar homestead and many enjoyable years of grain and cattle farming. Harley had acompassionate heart for animals and was extremely proud of his cattle. In earlier years, often one of Harold's children would wait at the gate to walk with him to the barn in safety amongst the large cows. Harold not only practiced natural methods of caring for livestock, but also taught these home remedies to his family. Harley enjoyed numerous travels via motor home as far south as Houston and Phoenix, as far north as Alaska, as far west as Victoria and as far east as Prince Edward Island.
