Hard to believe it´s been 3 years already. Harold may be gone but his spirit and his genuine caring for people will live on long after we are all passed.
Just one way to describe Harold.
A Good Man
Plain and simple. Rest in peace my friend. I truly do miss our chats.

My sympathy to your family. I knew Harold before he became a police officer when I was working on the 20th district tactical unit. When he became a Chicago police officer I knew that he was someone special. That he had a career and a reputation as one of Chicago's finest did not surprise me. I will always remember our last meeting so many years ago as I sat in a Las Vegas bus stop. I wish now that we had spent more time that evening talking about the past. You are a legend. God bless you.

Dear Audrey and Brian. I read a sweet saying from another obituary, and it has helped me through my loss, and I'd like to share it with you!
"The passing of a loved one breaks your heart, and time heals broken hearts. My wish for you is that time passes quickly for you and your loved ones during this time of sorrow!"

Audrey, I now know what you have gone through with the passing of Harold. I too have many memories of my wife Betty who recently passed, and find myself hearing her call me during the night, and it wakes me to find I had just been dreaming. I also know that in your heart, you have many wonderful memories of all the things you both have done. as do I!
May God look over you as I'm sure Harold is also standing bye at the ready, to help through troubled times.
May God bless you and your family.

Audrey we just heard about Harold passing away. Both Carol and I are so very sorry and wish you well. When I first met Harold at the Officer of The Year Award Ceremony it was a real pleasure. We shared some stories and laughs. He was a very colorful and likeable guy. I am sure he will be greatly missed. Me he rest in peace.

I was reading the FOP Magazine today and was shocked to see the name, "Harold Bone" age 66 in the listing of the "Sisters & Brothers who passed". It has been said many times that Harold was "The Real Police" and that is for certain, no doubt whatsoever. That title means the world to those who have earned it and earned it he did. I had an occasion at an award ceremony to see Harold wearing all his medals and I was taken aback because he looked like General George Patton. His chest was covered with fruit salad. It was truly something to behold. Harold's son is going to have some huge shoes to fill to follow in his father's footsteps. If Brian is anything like his father though, he will be sticking his neck out trying to do what is right in spite of the dangers...both physical and mental. My condolences to Audrey and Brian in the loss of a very special man. Truly "a one-of-a-kind" police officer. The very best......

Harold and I came on the job together on 01 March 1982. We worked in Gangs North, SOS and on the HBT (SWAT) team together. Always had a positive attitude and would do anything for you. May God Bless and watch over / protect Audrey and the rest of your family. Meet me at the gate brother.

After retirement, and going to several CPD lunches and breakfast's, I had the pleasure of meeting "The Bone!" I also met his loving wife Audrey. I then had the chance of walking in the neighbor hood one day and seeing Two beautiful birds, sitting on their perches in the front yard. That turned out to be the Bone residence. Living so close, and not taking the time to visit was my mistake. Wish we had seen each other more often. Rest in peace my friend. Prayers for you and your family!

Harold and I met in 1989 when we both worked in the Gang Crime North unit. We were on HBT (SWAT) together and both were then assigned to S.O.S. Special Operations Section) , Along with many of our friends (not just co-workers) we worked the streets of every District in Chicago and every public housing complex at a time that Homicides and violent Crimes were at record level highs. While we spent most of our careers in the same units together, our families also became
Very close. Harold also worked with my dad in the 018th district before I became a cop. Now both of our sons, Brian Bone and Joe Pentimone are CHICAGO COPS. Harold and I also belonged to the greatest antique/classic car club anywhere together, the Chicago Gearheads.
Harold surprised me by driving up from Tennessee just to be at my 2nd retirement party (Fop hall), after he was already at my 1st retirement house party(where he gave a speech that included a funny war story about us). My daughter Carla and Audrey became good friends and both share a love for animals. A few weeks ago Carla and Audrey fed the deer by her house together as they hugged and cried together. That day Harold and I told each other that we loved each other but in a different way than ever before. When Audrey brought Harold to Luthern General hospital because of his unbearable pain we knew there wasn’t much time left. Harold’s friends and relatives were calling Audrey constantly, visiting Harold and saying the most beautiful things to Harold, Audrey and Brian. I know that so many people are having a really tough time accepting that Harold is gone just as I am. But Harold would never want us to waste one precious moment of our lives being sad or grieving. He lived every day to the fullest and always made everyone feel good, even when he wasn’t.
Harold, you are loved by more people than anyone could imagine.
Be at peace and rest now my good friend.
Lou and Peggy Orlando

Harold, We both had the pleasure of working with you back in 018. Even after we all retired we enjoyed going to the Wi. State fair oldies concert with you and Audrey. Enjoyed getting together on occasion and going out to dinner. When we were out together you would always supply a laugh or two. Can´t think of anyone who LOVED this job more than you. You certainly will be missed. Until we can share some laughs
together again. It was great being a friend.

My deepest sorrows go out to Harold's family. I new Herald for many years when I was at the police district garage. He was also in my car club call the Chicago Gearheads. He was a very hard worker, had some great stories and very funny at times. I'm sure he would want us to think of all the good fun times and great memories. He will be missed. Rest in peace my friend.

Unfortunately I never got to know Harold while on the job but his obituary is a very compelling one as to the character of the man he was. I did know Audrey from my time on the Marine Unit as she would visit on occasion, sometimes even with the pet goat. All my deepest condolences to her and the family at this time of grief yet many happy memories I'm sure will always be there in future years. We live in a very temporary world and we are promised an eternity into an eternal world as long as we keep our faith and trust in the one who made that possible. Praying for you all.

Thank you and may God bless your soul and may God watch over your family as you watched over the people of Chicago.

Harold knew no fear, was there for his colleagues, cared about citizens and victims and kept a terrific sense of humor. I will never forget the discussions we had about criminals and policing. Harold was a good man and my condolences to his family. RIP buddy, your watch has ended and you will be remembered.
