There is always a special place in one's heart for their "spiritual father". I praise God that Brother Harold was concerned for my soul and showed me from God's Word how to be saved...62 years ago in South Alabama.

I met Harold Longenecker 42 years ago when I attended a high school church camp in the Big Horn Mountains of Wyoming. Some students were talking during a Bible lesson so he threw a chalkboard eraser in their direction but hit me.

He had a wonderful sense of humor and a warm personality, and I was honored to know him.
