FORT EDWARD Harold E. Middleton, formerly of Fort Edward and Saratoga, passed away on Saturday, October 25, 2014 at Washington Center in Argyle, NY. Born September 20, 1921, he was the son of the late Aubrey and Alma (Gilroy) Middleton of Fort Edward. Harold attended Fort Edward High School and then enlisted in the United States Navy where he proudly served from 1942-1946 on a destroyer, The USS Black in the Pacific. He was honorably discharged in 1946. Harold worked as a machinist in several places, but most recently at Albany Engineering Systems, and was also a member of the American Legion Post 323. On July 11, 1969, he married Catherine Davies and they spent 33 years together until her death on July 9, 2002. They loved traveling and visited almost every state.
