Pat, Judy, May, and George, our sincere condolensces,
Harold was always a sweet guy. We used to joke about him hiding his money whenever we were together.
I'll always remember going to your house as a kid with my father and visiting your Mom, Harold and Gerty. Great times and great memories..

Harold and Gerty were special and loved people that had a an Angel for a mom. A tough lady, my Aunt Helen, but weren't they all from that generation? They knew what was important; family. So don't let my Dad tease you too much up there Harold. If he does my aunt Helen will box his ears :)

I had the pleasure of sponsoring Uncle Harold at the special olympics back in High School. I have played sports my whole life and I have seen many victories and celebrations but nothing compares to the excitement and joy that Uncle Harold had that day. I had so much pride telling everyone there that he was my uncle. He was a champion that day and always.

Hey Uncle,

Don't take any crap from my Dad. Remember, he's Alice, not you. Tell Nana, Aunt Gert and Dad, that I love them all and miss them as dearly and painfully as we all miss you. You were an incredible influence on my life, sharing brithday parties my entire childhood was one of my best memories as well as our family trips to Salisbury Beach every year. I, and everyone who knew you, are better people because of the influence you had on us. I love you so much and will see you again someday. I'm so sorry we didn't get to spend more time together these last few years.
