Harold Eugene Atzbach was born in Iola, Kansas on December 7, 1940 to Henry W. & Mary Mae (Madison) Atzbach. Harold grew up in Iola and spent time while he was young as a milk man until deciding to join the U.S. Navy in 1961. Harold spent over 20 years in the Navy, traveling the world on aircraft carriers and serving time in Vietnam during the war. During his time in the Navy, Harold met the love of his life, Roberta Ann (Fletcher) Atzbach. They were married in 1970, and raised three boys. They lived in multiple cities in California and Washington State. In 1981, Harold retired from the Navy and moved his family to Tulsa, and later Claremore, Oklahoma.
