Harold Atwell, age 95, a resident of Colorado Springs for 70 years, passed away on August 8, 2014.

Harold Dale Atwell was born on March 23, 1919 in Matheson, Colorado to the late William and Bessie (Armstrong) Atwell. He married Dean Wright in Kiowa, Colorado. Together they began a family, eventually moving to settle in Colorado Springs. Harold worked as a manager of a service station. He spent a lot of his free time working in his yard. He was a member of the mall walkers at the Citadel Mall for many years.

He is survived by his three children, Harold Dean Atwell, Beverly Ann Bryant, and Darlene Rae Stubbings. He has 7 grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren, and 2 great-great-grandchildren.

Per Harold's request, no funeral services will be held. He often said "If my friends can't see me while I'm alive, they don't need to see me when I'm gone."

Private interment will be at Memorial Gardens Mausoleum.
