Read MoreHarold was a mainstay at the Sun-Times sports department before I arrived there. I stayed 41 years and Harold was one of the very best people I've ever known.

So sorry to hear about Harold, truly one of the good guys. I had the pleasure of working with Harold at the Sun-Times from 1980-2011. Despite the constant pressure of making nightly deadlines, Harold was always cool, calm and collected. He had a great sense of humor, too. Wilma, God bless you and your family.

Harold worked on the Sun-Times sports desk when I started my 41 year career there in 1969. He was a wonderful guy, a great teammate, a true professional and a very good friend. My deepest sympathies to his family and friends. We all lost a terrific guy.

Deacon Harold Newchurch was a warm and wise man. He had a laid-back aura that put anyone in his presence at ease. A person that was a wealth of information and eager to share. Deacon, you will be truly missed. Many blessings to the Newchurch and Person families.
