We have been blessed to have known Harold. He was part of our small group at Calvary United Methodist Church before he moved to assisted living. He was always interested in others, and he never complained as his life became increasingly limited. He had a gentle loving spirit with a ready smile for those he met. We will miss him.

To Harold's family, Harold was a dear man who lovingly cared for his late wife. He was faithful to attend Calvary United Methodist Church where we knew him.
We are so sorry to hear that he passed. I'm sure he has been reunited with his wife and is lonely no more.
May God comfort you at this time.

Dear Thompson family
My prayer for you is for God to comfort and strengthen you at this very difficult time. Harold was a special friend to both me and Jerry. Always so kind and thoughtful. Over the years we spent many enjoyable times with both him and his dear wife, Joyce. He will be missed, but we know he is now at peace in his heavenly home with Jesus. Love and prayers.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of my neighbor and friend, Harold. To me, there was no kinder or gentler soul than he. I shall miss our conversations as much as his presence. I can still see him heading out for his daily walk with a smile on his face. I was blessed with having known him. Rest well Harold.....until that glorious day HE returns.........
