I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I was very lucky to have known Harold in my younger days. He worked on our Aunt and Uncle's house on Bauman Hill starting very early. He loved Country Music and I would wake hearing Rings of Fire. He had a wonderful sense of humor and took pride in his work.
I use to think of him often when I was in need of housing repair. He will be missed by all who knew him.
God Be With You.

Dearest Dottie,
The old neighborhood will not be the same without Harold sitting on the front porch with you and your little Boston Terrier. I know Harold knew that Christ is our living Lord making our earthly sorrows nothing when compared with His reward! Our prayers and love to you and the family.
