I did not know Harold but I have known Michael his son for a number of years . Michael has always proven to be a man of high integrity and well respected by those who have known him.
Having read the obituary , it is clear that the apple does not fall from the tree. What a man Harold must be. May his legacy that he has left in the hearts and minds of those that knew him live on and continue to honor both him and the God he served.

We appreciate the many things he did in spiritual matters connected with Westwood Baptist church and the Raleigh Baptist Association. Let us know of things you desire for some of us to do for you and the family.
