My condolences to the family. Harold and Jenny always had an open door to the local kids in the neighborhood. I spent many summer days in their kitchen taking a break from playing. They were always kind to my friend Jason and I. Harold always made time to know what was going on with the kids in the neighborhood. A great guy, and I will miss him!

Prayers for comport and peace for the Atwood family. Harold was a wonderful man, husband, Dad, grandfather, and family man. I will always cherish the memories of him thru the years. He was my inspiration. He and Jennie were a great couple. I loved them very much and will miss them. I loved the stories and his love for all. They truly had a "Love Story" of all time. I remember their first trip to Tahiti and it was traveling for them! RIP Harold. Give hugs to Jennie.

Our sincere condolences to the Atwood family. Harold was a kind and friendly neighbor who we often stopped to speak with when we would walk around the block. He would point out the brightest star and say it was his beloved wife looking down at him. He had placed candles in his windows so she couldn't miss him. They were a sweet couple, and now are together again. Rest In Peace. With sympathy, Antonette and Mike Radovcic

I will certainly miss sitting next to Harold at the Retired Elks luncheons and at our Friday Morning Club breakfasts. He had such wonderful stories to tell about growing up on a farm, having Johnny Carson as a school buddy, how his mother went on Johnny's show in her 90's doing exercises and all the many travels he and his beloved wife enjoyed. He was so kind and generous throughout his life and touched the lives of so many. He will be dearly missed.

My sincerest condolences to the Atwood family. My parents Anthony and Genevieve are buried just above your parents Harold and Juanita.. I met your father while I was visiting the grave site of my mother at the time and he was such a devoted man with his little dog coming to the cemetery making sure that all the flowers were watered on certain gravesites with his metal bucket. When he talked about his Jenny his eyes would sparkle.. what a LOVE they must've had. When I brought my father on many occasions to visit he seen Harold and it was like two kids getting together. Both remembering the old days when they grew up together and I believe they went to school together at some point. I came to the cemetery today (2/3/18) to put flowers for my parents and I was saddened to see that the yellow flag was there meaning there was going to be a burial. My prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Warmest remembrance
