Harold L. Haag

My brother and I worked for Harold when we were teenagers at Grandwood Park, in Gurnee, IL. We did work at his home in Skokie, IL. He was great gentleman and a big influence on my life. I will never forget him. Dennis Sheehan

God Bless - from Karen Howe, Mark Frangione and the Pelican Cafe staff that loved him.

I had the pleasure of meeting Harold and his wife Barbara several years ago when they did business with L & M Cleaners in North Palm Beac where I use to work. I will always remember his friendly personality, his smile and the bird on his shoulder. He would laugh because I am not too fond of birds. I know his friends and family will miss him very much.
May he rest in peace!

I considered it a high-compliment when I once...
