Our condolences to the Eanes family . Jessie and Joyce Eanes spoke highly of their brother and brother-in-law, Harold, whom I remember had had his shop downtown on that side street. As the wise men leave us, we only hope that their memories inspire the youth to carry on and seek the kingdom of GOD.

Harold, you were great at bringing family and friends together to have fun and share good times. We will miss your ability to combine hard work and pleasure. You made a big foot print on Battle Creek and what it meant to be down to earth and loving of the people of our community. Thanks for your kindness and inspiration! P.S. My Father sends his thoughts and prayers too! You were awesome on the Battle Creek Central Basketball team and excelled in school too! Mac L. Behnke - class of 1954 & Mark A. Behnke
