My Dad was a very sweet man. He would cry at the drop of the pin. But he really knew how to laugh and have a good time. Who hasn't heard Harold say don't leave .. it's just the SHANK of the evening I will never forget all the golf games, card games, the camping trips, and the times spent at his and Geri's home. Geri and Dad were so perfect for each other and I consider it a blessing that these two people found each other in this big wide world. He was right there giving me advice or lending an ear when I had a problem and he will be missed by me every day. Love to you Dad, Your daughter, Susan

Grandpa Harold was a wonderful Grandfather. Full of love and laughter and jokes. He always had a positive attitude and he also gave great advice. He loved golf and bowling, traveling, friends, family and especially Grandma Geri. He had a long, full life and he will be dearly missed. I love you Grandpa!
