I worked with Harold for over ten years at Fairchild back in the 1960's. He was a fine Christian man and I enjoyed working with him. I had great respect for him. He helped me fix my car once. I also have a wood carving he gave me. It sits on my desk and I think of Harold everytime I look at it. Sorry to hear of his passing, but I know we will get to meet him again one day. God bless and be with your family.
