Dear Dorcas and family, I am so sorry to hear of Harolds passing. My husband and I used to visit Harold and Dorcas once a month when they were still in their home. He was a man of few words, but I hope he liked our visits. We really enjoyed our visits with him and Dorcas. He was a very sweet man who loved his family.

I have nothing but fond childhood memories of Harold and the entire Heiser family. I was always proud to be called a "Heiser Boy". My sincere condolences to Dorcas, Bonnie and Dennis on the loss of your husband and father.
