I lived a street away from Harold and walked to St. Justins many times with him. He was always bright and funny. I have heard he made a wonderful teacher and I am sure his family is proud of his life. Please accept my condolences.

I learned so much about the world from two years of Mr. Ohm's world culture class at Holy Innocents High School. I am still traveling the world thanks to the interest he generated. My deepest condolences.
