Not sure what to say?

Beth and Joe, if worked for your Dad. He was a fantastic man to work for. I think of him often.

I still miss ornery, wonderful Dave. He made such an impression on me and has made me a better person. Much love to June, Beth and Joe.

June and Family: I am so sorry to hear of Daves passing. What a great fun guy he was with such a great attitude and sense of humor toward life. From beginning to end he was always a great friend to me-Love and Prayers-Jason Michael

So many fun memories! And so sorry to learn of his passing. What a beautiful obituary! AND we have one of the "Enjoy Life" buttons over here with us. Our deepest sympathy to you all. You are in our thoughts and prayers with love,

Jon and Carol Slater, Molokai, Hi.

My heart is heavy upon hearing of Dave's passing. There's a party in Heaven today; of that I am certain! I send my love and deepest sympathy to June and the kids, and I pray that your memories bring you comfort. I know that my memories of one of the kindest men I've ever known, will last a lifetime. Love to all.

He was a great leader!

So many have written such on-the-spot remembrances and tributes to Dave and to June. I had the wonderful opportunity to be included the past five years in Dave and June's ever-expansive array of acquaintances, work-mates, old and new friends, business associates, neighbors, family...and the thousands of children for whom the Harcums have made the biggest difference of all. I learned so much. I know June and her family are surrounded by so many who appreciate what the Harcums have been all...

I worked for Wilmington College for 10 years and I had the pleasure of working with Mr Harcum. He was always a pleasure to be around! My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

I am going way back in time in Wilmington...back to the '50s. The Clinton County Youth Center opened (located in the basement under the Murphy Theater) so that we teenagers would have a place to go to socialize. Mr. and Mrs. Harcum were the advisors. I remember how they were always willing to listen to us and suggest possible answers. My sincere condolences to June Harcum and family. And thank you for being wonderful roll models for a bunch of teenagers back when. Becky VanDervort Thumma.
