Harold was one of the few good guys that I've known in my 69 years. He and I were in the service together, in the sixty. Over the years we saw one another, but life is so short, we don't have the time to keep up with all the good people. We will see him on the other side. Sharon, my deepest feeling go out to you and your family for your loss of a life long friend and husband. yours truly Robert Sego and family.

Mrs. Killian and Family
I am sadden over your loss. Harold was a good man,friend,and a great aircrft mechanic. He always was smiling and always willing to share his knowledge with me. Over the last 27 years that I have been a fellow aircraft mechanic he has taken me under his wing several times. He never refused to help me in anything I needed. I will miss him but I will always remember him. We do have something very special in commom both of our daughters name is Cara.

Sharon and Family,

We are so deeply saddened to hear of Harolds passing. I worked side by side with Harold for nearly two years. I learned so much from him. His family values and hard work ethic were second to none. I looked up to him as a mentor and friend, with great respect. He was such a skilled mechanic, one you don't find often. He loved family and friends and there was nothing he would not do for either.
We go through life and we meet all kinds of people. Some leave lasting impressions and you never forget them. Harold is one of those for me. He will always be in my heart and mind.
If there is anything I can ever do to help anyone of you...I will be most grateful to do so...just has Harold would have done for me.

Sharon and Family,

We're so deeply saddened to hear of Harolds passing. I worked side by side with Harold for nearly two years and learned so much from him. His family values and hard work ethic impressed me the most. I looked up to him as a mentor and friend with great respect. He was such a excellent mechanic. He loved family and friends and there wasn't anything he wouldn't do for either.
As we go through life...there are some people that leave a lasting impression with you...someone you will never forget. Harold is one of those for me. He will always be in my heart and mind...
God Bless you all. If there is anything I can ever do to help you, I will always be grateful to help...just as Harold would have done for me.

Sharon and family,
Victor and I are so sad to hear this news. We have missed you and Harold dearly since our moves and always think of you both, especially each April as birthdays are not the same. We will cherish the many memories of our friendship forever.

Mrs. Killian and Family: I was shocked and saddened to see in today's W-S Journal of Harolds passing. I have known him since he started at Piedmont - I interviewed and hired him, one of my better days.
He was a good mechanic, but more, a good employee, a good person, and a good friend.
I have some fond memories of Harold on the golf course in the old Piedmont Golf League.
Although I had not seen him in many years, I know he was still my friend.
Again, my sympathy during this time of sorrow.
