Dear Marleen,
Harold was my Uncle and after he lost his brother Martin (my father) 30 years ago, I never heard from him. I loved Uncle Harold. I am so sorry for your loss. My mother passed last year and with both parents gone, it is a huge void in my life that I don't have contact with the Forkas family! With Deepest Sympathy, Heidi

Dear Marleen,
There are not enough words to describe your Harold. He touched the hearts of everyone and he was so very special. Harold was very generous to all who needed help and support. He gave of himself with passion. He was a most unique gentleman. Harold had strength with you, his "Sweetheart" at his side. He was a gift to all of us who had the privilege to know him. Harold is missed by all of us and especially his Marleen. I remember his bear hugs were so...

Stan and I are going to miss Harold. His humor made us laugh, his advice always valuable, his generosity goes beyond and above. We will espeially remember our good time in Mexico and want you to know how sorry we are for your loss, but be grateful for the years that you had. Few have what you had together. Love, Connie and Stan

Marleen,

I remember Harold always smiling. Even when you knew he wasn't feeling well, the smile was there. What a beautiful man! The two of you together made such a wonderful couple. He will be missed but we will always have the beautiful memories Harold was a part of.

Marleen,

Elaine and I have many pleasant memories of the years we spent in Boca Raton and it is no surprise to us how many of the most wonderful involved you and Harold. Whenever we tell our friends here in Texas about some of the good times we had in South Florida, your names invariably come up. Harold was such a good friend and such an easy man with whom to talk. The two of you were such a dynamic pair. We have missed seeing you in the five years since we left, but still feel...

Dear Marleen & family ~ I am so sorry to hear that Harold passed away. I met you both when I was the director of marketing for the Boca Pops (many years ago).

You were both always so kind, positive and generous.

Our community greatly benefited (and will continue to do, so) from having you, and Harold as a part of it.

Marleen,

It was an honor to have met such an extraordinary man. Hold on to the beautiful memories you shared!

My lovely friend Marleen: I think of you every day and know your loss of Harold is immeasurable. I know it must be a great consolation to know he was so loved by so many. His legacy lives on in the lives he touched with his warm and generous personality. His smile amd his humor cannot be forgotten. I am extremely blessed to have been both your and Harold's friend - a very special gift.
