I have such great memories of Harold. And my
Dad, Marvin Nohr, thought so highly of him.
I do believe he is in a good place and you will see him again. He is probably smiling at you right now.

Hi Mrs. Eckert,
I work for Lamers and was lucky enough to take Bud for some of his appointments. I always looked forward to seeing him and talking with him. He always had some words of wisdom. You could tell how much he loved his family by the way he spoke of all of you. He was a very intelligent, interesting man, as well as very kind to me. I loved the way his whole face lit up when he smiled.
I was saddened to hear of his passing and will truly miss him. I will keep you in my prayers throughout this difficult time.
