Harold Love is currently our longest seated council member having first been elected in 2008. He loves helping his community and it is common to see him plowing the drives of Springdale residents on a snowy winter's morn. Harold is a man for whom the word "family" means a lot. With his lovely wife of 58 years, Sheila, they have eight children, thirty two grandchildren and nineteen great grandchildren!
Harold's experience on the council is nicely balanced by his experience on the other side of the scale...he was Mayor of Sultan, Washington from 1979 to 1983. After serving as its guide for two years, he now serves as Vice Chair of the Troutman Estate Steering Committee. He's also on the Finance Committee. Thanks, Harold for all you do for Springdale and it's residents.
