I think about Harold and Mary often. I can see them both so clearly there in their home or out and about on the mink ranch. They contributed so much to my life for a number of years and it makes me happy to "revisit" them and all the memories I have of them . . . helping Mary get the table ready for lunch or dinner . . . listening to Harold's stories during "gin and tonic" time. Those were good times which, at least for me, have lasted a lifetime.

Jeff, while I did not know your father officially, I did through you as a person. And that certainly says a lot positive for him. Very nice obituary as well. Our sympathies to you and your family.

To Jeff, Paul and Mike, and your families. When I think of Harold I can't help but hear the chuckle in his voice and see the twinkle in his eye. He and Mary embodied the meaning of hospitality to a degree unmatched by anyone else I've known. Being in their company was a treat; being their guest, you were made to feel like part of their family; being their friend is one of the richest experiences of my life.

We are saddened to hear of Harold's passing. He was always so warm and giving to me and my 3 children from the time they were babies up until the last visit which included my grand daughter Kyla. The thing that stands out in my mind about Harold was how much he loved children and how they responded to him. He took an...

What a great picture of Harold. HE smiled so much and with good reason. He had his wonderful family right with him all the time. What a blessing. Love, Betty Nicholas

Thinking of you all, Harold was a wonderful person. Alan said it all about Granite kids learning to swim at Craggs lake. We was also blessed to have many reunions with the class mates of Mike's at the lake. Mary and Harold would join us. Thank you for all the menories.

I met Harold late in his life and knew him mostly by the wonderful family built upon his strong foundation. By that basis alone, Harold was a great man. So sorry to hear that he has passed.
