I will deeply miss my dear old friend Harold. My creative ally in many music and art endeavors. The things we accomplished, the laughs we had, the tears we shared, and the joys experienced will carry me forward until next we meet in that far better place in which he now dwells. God bless you Harold and God bless you Tarmon, Bert and family. The very best to you all.

I was saddened to hear about Harolds death. Charlie Phillips and I were in Richmond for the race and were unable to attend the memorial service. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and all he touched with his music and humor. Godspeed, Harold!!

Bert, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your brother Harold. I have many fond memories of Harold.

The loss of a loved one is so difficult. I pray that the peace of God and his son Jesus Christ comfort you and your family and his family as well.

I firmly believe that at some point we will meet Harold again in the resurection on earth that Jesus taught while he was on earth.

My family and I send our love and best wishes to you and your family.
