My deepest sympathies for Harold's family. I have very fond memories of visits from Harold in addition to trips to the farm but most memorable was a story he provided me. When I was in kindergarten, Harold allowed me to take Orphie the lamb to school for show & tell. We always said "Orphie followed me tp school one day.....". RIP Harold
Sincerely
