Dear "Miss Betty",
We all will surely miss Harold - but we feel fortunate to have known him and had a chance to work with him at Burroughs. He was a true gentleman and always seemed to bring a calmness to any conversation he was involved in, either in business or pleasure.

I had the privelege of working with Harold during the late 1980's when he was GM at the Unisys Atlanta Distribution Center. I always enjoyed visiting Harold in Atlanta. He was a great host to visitors. I am truly sorry to learn of his passing. I hope he was able to enjoy most of his time in retirement.
