I'm sorry to learn of Harold's death.
I taught and fished with him for several years. He was a good guy and fun to talk with and be around. I'm sure his family will miss him.

I'm so sorry to hear this. Harold was a lovely man. I taught with him for years. He never had a harsh word for anyone - a truly good and generous person. I have been wondering how Harold was. Glad to hear he's been fishing!
