I loved seeing Harold every morning in the office! I loved it when he would tell me how ugly my shoes were, and how he didn't care about what was "in"! He made us laugh for many years & always made you feel good to be around him. I will miss him. Shalom & L'hitraot Harold!

I haven't seen Harold in many years but time cannot dull the memory of his smile, his laugh, his love of people, or his caring soul. Best wishes to the entire family.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Harold was my neighbor for a few years, and he was always so kind. He had a very nice way about him, and my husband and I always enjoyed talking to him.

He introduced me to Perri OShaunnesey; he always remembered my birthday; and he always warmed my heart. Several years ago, he was in Va.Beach General Hospital at the same time my daughter was there. She was 18 at the time; he was around 57. I will never forget the sight of the two of them; IV poles; hospital gowns; generations apart but deep in conversation. I smiled that day and I smile today just thinking of you.

He became my best friend 68 years ago; and, that continued, through thick and thin, until this day. How very fortunate I was. Shalom chaver.

My deepest sympathies go out to your family. I worked with Harold for many many years both at ESE and at Paramount Builders. You could never meet a sweeter man. I cannot remember a time he didn't have that beautiful smile on his face. I was truly lucky to have met him and worked with him for so many years.
