I was so sorry to hear about Harold. Although it has been years since I have seen him, my childhood memories are strong with tales of his fishing trips around the country. He always spent time speaking with my brother Neil and me as if we were his friends and shared our accomplishments the way my own parents would. He was a wonderful man and I hope your fond memories will carry you through this difficult time. All my love,

Dear Dolores,

My thoughts and prayers go out to you at this very sad time. I know how difficult it is to lose those that we love so much. Although I never had the privilege of meeting Harold, I know from the things that you shared with me, that he was an incredible person.

May you and your family find peace and comfort in knowing that the memories that you have will never die, and may they fill your heart with the special joy that Harold brought to you each and every day.

Fondly,

Donna Maddi

I purchased several cars from Harold. I learned very quickly that once you were one of his customers the relationship didn't end when you drove the car out of the lot. Harold was always there to help in any way. When your car was in for service, his car was your car. We considered Harold a friend of the family. Have the strength to continue knowing a good man is at peace with the Lord.

I remember first meeting Mr. and Mrs. Conshafter about 30 years ago when I was a roommate of Kent's at Niagara University. On that day and on any other day that I spent time with them they made me feel not only like a friend of their son's but truly a friend of theirs. When I chatted with Mr. Conshafter be it about the Bills the horses or the fun Kent and I shared he listened like I was the most important person he knew. A great story and sound advice was readily available at the Conshafters.
I remember one spring break as we were saying good bye to Mr. and Mrs. Conshafter to head off to Ft. Lauderdale, Mr. Conshafter had a look on his face like he really wanted to jump in the car and make the trip with us. Mr. Conshafter was like one of the guys and I’m sure he would have had as much fun as we did had he joined us.
Mr. Conshafter had a quick wit and a great sense of humor. I feel very lucky to have known him.
My prayers and thoughts are with Mrs. Conshafter, Katie and Kent.
With deepest sympathy,
