I count Harold as a wonderful friend. He will surely be missed!
I was proud to have the privilege of calling Harold my father-in-law for 40 years. He was a good man and I loved him and will miss him. You're with Mitchell now and I miss him every day. I look forward to seeing you both some day.
So very sorry for your loss. Harold was a good man, I am very glad I got to know him. God Bless!

Uncle Harold you will be missed. Glad I have all the memories together with you and Aunt Gloria, Christmas, New Years, Easter, Thanksgiving, and many more and letting us live downstairs while we built our house. Heaven is sweeter with you there. Picture is News Years Day 2019.
Harold was and is more like a brother to me, than a brother in law. You will be greatly missed. Tell all Hi and Not Good Bye Just See You Later. I know you are free from everything. Love you
