This photo is of "Mac" and "OB" Kastner in July 1977 where Mac is giving his LCI 31 shipmate the historical Boston tour. This was the first they had seen each other since the end of their service during WWII.

Dear MacCombie family, ~ I send my heartfelt condolences to you all. My father worked at Brookfield with Harold and had the highest respect for him and his workmanship. I read also that he was a Machinist First Class in the Navy, as was my father in the South Pacific. I met Harold on a few occasions when my dad needed help doing a chore. The photo shows a chandelier I bought in New Orleans that Harold hung in our living room. God bless him.

Thanks for everything you taught us, all you did for us. Will miss you!

We love you Grandpa. We always knew you as an inspiring and cheerful individual and we will miss you dearly. Requiescat in pace.

I am sorry to hear of your loss. Harold lit up a room like no one else. Heaven is a lot brighter with him there. May he rest in peace.

Rest in peace Grandpa. Always in our hearts. Gone but never forgotten.

I always enjoyed bumping into Harold at SG when I would visit my Mom. He was a happy, kind man with a great sense of humor. My deepest sympathy to the MacCombie family and all his friends at SG. Great photo and impressive obituary.
