I loved that old man beyond all words. He was a huge prankster, had a terrific disposition with lots of laughter and love to all. And in turn, everyone loved Bro. Harold just as much. He almost felt like my second dad because he meant so much to me. I will forever miss him until we meet again in a better place. And to Madeline, will keep you in my prayers for your loss. With much love. Louise Rowe
