My DEAR, DEAR POP
I am really sad. My heart has never felt like this. I felt so scared for how you might have felt and what was going through your mind. Also I was going through all my memories. Thank You for being my father. Thank You for giving everything humanly possible. Thank You for all of the story times! Thank You. I Love You and I feel like you are with me. I Love You

A candle was lit for Harold at Our Lady of Fatima, Holliston. I had such a pleasure working with Harold at Conversent/One Communications and was terribly saddened by his passing. I will never forget the wonderful attitude he came to work with (in a very stressful environment) and will always remember his jokes (and Halloween costumes!) and smiles and wisdom. I am a better person for having known Harold. My thoughts and prayers to his children and family always.

Besides his loving wife, children and parents, Harold also leaves behind two brothers: Samuel Irizarry and his wife evelyn of Orlando Florida and Al Irizarry, also of Orlando. Three sisters: Myrna Linares of St. Austine, Florida, Olga Moody and her husband Bruce of Pine Bush, NY and Minerva Perez and her husband Israel of Georgia. He was predeceased by his brother Wilfred Irizarry of Orlando. He also leaves behind many nieces and nephews that will fondly remember him as "the fun loving uncle." We couldn't ask for a better brother, Harold; you will be greatly missed. Our memories of you are endless. you were always so full of energy and love and so selfless as you put everyone else before you. I will remember the fun as young children when you took us to the park or trick or treating or when you put me on your bike early in the morning and went out for a ride; As you got older I remember the sound of music coming from your room as you went from the violin to the harmonica and then to the guitar. Then came the emptiness as you went off to college but joy when you came to visit. Harold, through the ups and downs in life, you kept a great big smile on your face and you were there if we needed you, thank you for being such a great guy. I love you.

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.
