10 Mar 2017 |
Pueblo, Pueblo, Colorado, USA [7] |
- Back in 1984, Harold Mabie gave an interview where he chided local businessmen for not doing more for Pueblo -- giving back to the community where they'd prospered.
If that sounded like a locker-room scolding from a coach, it was. Mabie, owner of King Lumber Co., also was the District 4 city councilman, and an early member of the Pueblo Economic Development Corp.
No one could accuse him of not working for Pueblo's betterment.
"Harold worked hard at bringing jobs to Pueblo," recalled former Councilman Mike Occhiato. "He was a pleasure to work with and part of a good team in those days. We never let a job lead go unpursued and Harold was really on top of that game."
Mabie, 90, who would later become PEDCO chairman and receive many other local honors, died on Tuesday [7 Mar 2017].
No services have been scheduled and cremation is being handled by Montgomery & Steward Funeral Directors.
Mabie was born in Pueblo and graduated from Centennial High School in 1944. He then joined the Navy and became a medical corpsman. He was recalled to the Navy during the Korean War.
He married his late wife, the former Beth Sexton, right out of high school.
"Everybody said it would never work, that we were too young," he laughed in that same 1984 interview. Mrs. Mabie died in 2008. They are survived by their two children, Van (and Karen) Mabie, of San Diego; and Leslie (and Tom) Towner, of Lakewood.
Mabie owned King Lumber Co. for 45 years, but was always active in civic affairs. He served on council from 1980-84, and was president of the Greater Pueblo Chamber of Commerce and chairman of the city's Airport Development Commission.
In 1983, he was named Outstanding Citizen of the Year by the chamber.
Mabie was deeply involved in PEDCO's efforts to recruit new jobs after downsizing at the CF&I Corp. had staggered Pueblo's economy.
Former Councilman Mike Salardino said Mabie had a bedrock optimism about what could be accomplished to get the city back on its feet.
"I got to know Harold on council and he always had this great attitude so that, even if you didn't agree with his position, he would have you laughing," he said.
He surprised skeptics in 1982 when he promised that two new 4-H dormitories could be built over the weekend at the Colorado State Fair -- and did it.
Family members ask that any donations be made to the Sangre de Cristo Joni Fair Hospice House.
