Not sure what to say?

As he was my supervisor, he was my friend. He would give you a look that would make one fall over, but then there came that smile. He was the best supervisor I ever had. He made you laugh even though he didn't want you too because this was a work area. lol He was the greatest and his memories will always be with me.

Harold was a hell of a man.
I remenber the problems he had when when he assisted me in transferring to Safety. He trained me,he befriended me, He always had my back. Actually Harold looked out for all his people. One Morning when we were talking I mentioned that I wish I had a well in my back yard, The following Saturday I was awakened by Harold at my house with all he equipment to install the well. He was that kind of guy. He always told me he was not sorry that...

Harold was a "one of a kind" man! Harold mentored me from the time I started working in safety and after he retired, we had formed a bond that went beyond the workplace. I got to know his family and he treated me as one of them. I remember the time we went to Asheville to do a safety inspection and he took me by his mother's house to meet them. I'll always remember the beautiful white brick house on top of the hill! Harold always portrayed himself to be this rough and tough guy, but once...

My Dearest sister, Rosa Lee, and family,

Our Prayers are with you during this difficult time. May you find comfort that knowing Harold is no longer in pain and no longer suffering. As we all knew, he had been through a lot during these last few years and now he can rest and be at peace. We all will miss him a great deal. Remember, Rosa Lee, you are not alone, you need anything we will be there. With Lots of Love and our deepest sympathy. "Bones"

My sympathy to the Huff family. I enjoyed working with Mr. Huff. He always seemed to be the "man on the job". Always serious about his mission. May God grant the family peace in knowing that your loved one enjoyed a great life here, and will enjoy a great life in heaven.

My Uncle – Harold E. Huff

My Uncle, will be missed very much, he was one of the most honest, loving, and hard working men I have ever known. My Uncle showed his love through action more than words. My Uncle was strong in stature as well as in will and spirit. He was a very loving person to his family and friends, and would stop what he was doing to go and help anyone that asked. At times he needed his own space to recharge his energy because he gave it willingly to others that...

Judy, I had to laugh at your post. Yes, your Dad had a tough side and a "soft" side. I was working on second shift as a Shop Expediter, years ago, and we were trying to get some material out of the warehouse, for a hot job, and a "incident" occurred. Your Dad arrived on scene, promptly, and could have busted us because we were in the wrong, in what we were doing. He didn't. I realized that there was a soft side to that hard crust. He had the respect of all of us involved in that "incident"....

My Dad
Harold E. Huff. What does the "E" stand for? Very few people know. In fact, I only learned of it when I was in my twenties. What does that "E" stand for? Well, I'm not going to tell you. See, one day, I'm going to have to face him again, and as many of you know, his facial expressions can be enough to warrant me keeping my mouth shut now. :)
What you should know is that he had a since of humor. Oh, it wasn't like you might think. Many of you who worked with Dad only...

When I was on second shift in the late 60s,Mr.Huff would come thru the Paint Factory in the Shipyard & look for leaking drums of liquid. He would always give you a chance to stop the leak. He would always call me Mr. Barnes & I was like early 20s. He was the greatest at his job. May he rest in peace. Marvin Barnes, Gloucester,Va.
