Harold Brode - such a gentleman. He was the guard in the 1990's at an FDA building in Rockville, MD. He was everyone's favorite - he would always stop and get the Frederick News Post on the way in as well as some fresh fruit for the office-cleaning ladies and he would let me have the paper when he was through. One time, my father came to visit me at my office, and Harold was so respectful to my father. When he retired from guard duty, we gave him a big farewell - and he was so appreciative - we all thought the world of Harold - I am sorry for your big loss and hope that he had some good years in his retirement.

I loved “Old Sweet & Sour”, and I think he loved me. I always felt welcomed by him in his home. The Kentucky trip was the best. I wish I’d had more time with him. His daughters are a reflection of his kindness, and a Frederick family I will treasure forever.
