Harold A. Kettwick, son of Harry and Hannah (Gerzema) Kettwick,
was born in the old hospital in Buffalo Center on April 29, 1933. He
was baptized and confirmed at the First Reformed Church in Buffalo
Center. He attended country school through 7th grade and then attended
and graduated from Buffalo Center High School in 1950.
On January 18, 1953, Harold was united in marriage to Deloris Dontje at the First Reformed Church. Together they farmed northwest of Buffalo Center and raised five children: Madonna, Darvin, Michael, Wayne and David.
Harold was a member of the First Reformed Church serving as elder,
deacon, and Sunday school teacher. He was a board member of the
Farmer's Coop Elevator, a Lincoln township trustee, and a 4-H leader.
He collected caps and toy tractors. Harold participated in both town
and church league softball, bowling, and enjoyed pitching horseshoe. He
made woodworking projects for family, friends, and the church bazaar.
His grandchildren learned how to craft pinewood derby cars, and
numerous 4-H projects under his guidance. He cherished being with his
family and found great joy in attending sporting events, drama, music,
church, 4-H, and FFA activities his children and grandchildren were
involved in. His grandchildren, ranging in age from twenty-four to two
years brought him special joy. Those who knew him well will remember
that he always found time to visit with friends and family and enjoyed
meeting new people. His easy laughter would echo throughout the room.
Harold is survived by his wife Deloris of Buffalo Center; his children:
Madonna Kettwick of Waukon; Darvin Kettwick and his wife Robin of
Buffalo Center; Michael Kettwick and his wife Carole of Buffalo Center;
Wayne Kettwick and his wife Tracy of DeWitt, and David Kettwick and his
