Harold Miles Wells Jr

Harold Miles Wells, Jr., beloved father, grandfather, and friend, passed away peacefully on September 16, 2024, at the age of 87. Born on September 11, 1937, in Atlanta, GA, Harold grew up with a passion for life, learning, and laughter. A 1955 graduate of Murphy High School, Harold went on to earn his degree from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1959, where he was a proud member of Sigma Chi fraternity.

Harold was deeply involved in his community, dedicating his time as a longtime member and president of Rotary International (President 1989-1990). His faith was an important part of his life, and he was actively involved in the Joy Class at Lawrenceville First United Methodist Church, after many years attending Kingswood UMC and, most recently, Corinth Christian Church in Loganville, GA.

A man of many talents, Harold loved to tinker in his home workshop, affectionately known as “Hal’s Haven,” which was christened by his loving wife, Charlotte. He also enjoyed fishing, traveling, and spending time with loved ones. Harold was a jokester with a quick wit and infectious charm that drew people to him. He was a people person at heart, and his humor, warmth, and generous spirit made his family and friends feel deeply loved and supported.

Over the course of his 45-year career in distribution management, Harold worked with several prominent companies, including Coats & Clark, Sterling Drug, and General Medical. He was admired for his professionalism and dedication to his work.
