Harold was genuinely a wonderful person. Honest, sincere, and caring. I had the honor of working with him for 17 years. He kidded me by saying I had 3 weeks of seniority over him. He started out representing injured workers for on-the-job accidents. But ultimately found his passion in representing disable folks from accidents, illness and genetic disorders seeking Social Security Disability Benefits.

He was very successful because his clients trusted him implicitly and so did the judges that he appeared before. His word was truly his bond. Harold never had to write down or remember a statement or promise he made because he simply told you what he believed to be the truth, always. No hesitation. No embellishment.

He was a true friend to his co-workers, a loving husband and outstanding brother to his sisters. Family and friendship always came first. It meant everything to him. He relished it and exemplified the essence of being a loving and caring brother, uncle, husband, friend and advocate to people that needed his help and could put their unquestioning faith in their champion. Their friend. Their extended family member.

I cherished my relationship with "H" and will never forget him or the lessons of life that he shared with me and taught me.

Always,

Stuart Suskin

It was an honor to call Harold a friend. He did not have a mean bone in his body, and truly obtained happiness from seeing others around him happy. He was one of those rare people you meet in life that you appreciate and admire for all the right qualities he possessed. Thanks for being in my life, H.
